We mean it. Who we are Garnett Patterson Injury Lawyers is a personal injury firm in Huntsville, Alabama. We represent people at the worst moment of their lives — and our stated goal is simple: to offer the best customer service of any personal injury law firm in the country. That isn't a wall poster. It's the standard every member of this team is measured against. We are a faith-led firm. Our founder is a Christian, and our culture reflects that. We pray for our clients, our team, and each other. We do hard, excellent work because we believe the people we serve deserve it and because we believe we're called to it. You're not required to be a Christian to work here — but you should be comfortable working alongside people who openly try to live out their faith in how they treat clients, opposing counsel, and each other. If that doesn't sound like the right fit, this isn't the right firm for you, and that's okay. The role You will be a paralegal on our litigation team. You'll own roughly 40-60 active litigation files as primary staff.

You will:

Draft complaints, propound and respond to written discovery, and prepare deposition outlines and packets Schedule and coordinate depositions, mediations, and hearings Mentor legal assistants and direct our virtual assistants Keep every file current in Filevine — phases, tasks, notes, deadlines — because if it isn't in Filevine, it didn't happen Be the first line of escalation before the partners We are not a settlement mill. We prepare every case as though trial is set 180 days from today. That mindset has to drive yours. Who we're looking for Experienced. Five-plus years as a personal injury litigation paralegal. You've drafted complaints from scratch. You've run written discovery start to finish. You can read a court rule and apply it without being walked through it. A career paralegal. You've chosen this profession, and you're proud of the craft. You want to be the paralegal the attorneys actually trust to get it right. Thick-skinned. Clients will be hurting and sometimes take it out on you. Your supervising attorneys will tell you directly when something isn't right, and they won't sugar-coat it. If feedback feels like an attack, this role will eat you alive. If feedback feels like fuel, keep reading. Ownership-minded. If a case is sitting, you move it. If a deadline is coming, you've already filed. If something falls through a crack, you fix it and learn from it — you don't pass it down the line. Hungry to be part of something bigger. We are building an AI-native law firm. Technology is going to take the busywork off your plate so you can focus on the work that actually moves cases. That requires curiosity and a willingness to learn new tools — not someone who wants to do it the same way they did it in 2015. We are also building something we believe will set a new bar for what personal injury representation looks like in the Southeast. We want teammates who are fired up about that, not just looking for a paycheck. Rooted. You take faith and family seriously, and you want to work in a place where those are honored, not hidden. What you get The chance to help build the only openly Christian personal injury law firm in Alabama Competitive base salary commensurate with experience Quarterly bonus potential tied to case outcomes and team performance that will take your compensation well above market rate A team that genuinely cares about each other and about doing the work the right way How to apply Email a resume and a short cover letter (three paragraphs, no more) to with the subject line "Senior Paralegal — [Your Last Name]." In your cover letter, tell us: 1. The hardest litigation case you've ever worked, and what you specifically did to push it forward 2. Why this role, at this firm, at this point in your career 3. One thing you believe about being a paralegal that not everyone in the profession would agree with We read every application. The ones that move to an interview will be the ones who clearly read this entire post. Some training will be provided but, ideally, the selected candidate would hit the ground running.
