The Short Version

Right Path Law Group is a Northern Virginia personal injury and criminal defense firm licensed in five states (VA, DC, MD, NY, FL). We have 600+ active PI cases, a bilingual client base growing every month, and a firm we have built so that a great trial attorney can earn like one.

Compensation

•      Base Salary: $130,000 to $155,000+ (qualification-dependent)

•      Quarterly Performance Commissions on firm-wide PI fees collected. No ceiling.

•      Origination Bonuses on cases you personally bring in.

•      Year-1 Realistic OTE: $183,000 to $250,000 on plan. Top producers are pacing toward $336,000+.

Base Salary Tiers:

$130,000 base. Minimum qualifications:

•      Active Virginia bar license in good standing

•      3+ years of plaintiff personal injury experience, including active litigation

•      Ability to manage a high-volume caseload independently

$155,000+ base. All of the above, plus:

•      5+ years of plaintiff PI litigation experience (not defense, not insurance)

•      3+ first-chair jury trials taken to verdict in PI matters

•      Active bar license in Maryland or DC in addition to Virginia

•      Verifiable case results

•      Preferred but not required: Bilingual Spanish/English fluency

Benefits

•      3 weeks paid time off

•      401(k) with 4% employer match after 1 year

•      A dedicated support team from day one. Not shared, not theoretical.

What You Will Do

•      Own 100+ active PI matters across pre-litigation and active litigation

•      Drive cases from treatment to demand to settlement or trial verdict

•      Conduct depositions, hearings, mediations, and jury trials

•      Collaborate with your team on discovery, records, and demand packages

This Is Probably Not the Role for You If...

•      Your first question in any interview is about remote flexibility or PTO

•      You have never taken a case to trial because you "prefer settlements."

•      Your trial record is thin, and you are hoping we won't verify it. We will.

•      You need a partnership-track conversation before you have demonstrated anything

•      You define "high-volume" as 40 cases
