Military Court-Martial Paralegal/Case Developer (Medicolegal Division)

Requirement: Military paralegal background in medicolegal work (personal injury and medical malpractice experience preferred)
Compensation: $100K+ expected by end of Year 1
Breakdown:

• Base Salary: $60K (comparable to or better than prior E-6/E-7, GS-9/11, or JAG-paralegal pay)
• Commission: Expected $40K–$80K+ in Year 1 from cases you personally originate and develop
• Additional Bonuses: Birthday bonus, holiday bonus, performance incentives, etc.

Company Overview We are a nationally recognized medical expert witness consulting firm that has successfully expanded into military courts-martial and administrative boards by providing top-tier forensic psychiatrists, psychologists, toxicologists, and medical experts to defense teams worldwide. We have already handled numerous high-profile military cases (sexual assault, drug cases, officer misconduct, death investigations, etc.) and now seek one exceptional paralegal to drive growth in this division.


This is a hybrid hunter + case-manager role: you will actively originate new military court-martial opportunities that do not yet exist in our current pipeline, then serve as the primary paralegal and case coordinator once retained.


Key Responsibilities

• Proactive Lead Generation & Case Origination: Leverage your existing military legal contacts (former JAGs, TDS counsel, base legal offices, first sergeants, SARC/VA reps, online military defense groups, etc.) to identify and develop new courts-martial, administrative separation boards, and security-clearance cases for our medical experts.
• Own the File from Intake to Trial: Once a case is retained, you become the day-to-day case manager and paralegal—reviewing discovery (CID/NCIS/OSI reports, Article 32 transcripts, MRE 412/513/514/615 packets), drafting timelines and summaries for our experts, coordinating psychiatric evaluations and travel, assembling exhibit books, and supporting civilian defense counsel.
• Medical-Legal Bridge: Translate complex military investigative records into concise, medico-legally focused summaries so our forensic experts can hit the ground running.
• Client & Attorney Communication: Serve as the main point of contact between referring civilian counsel, detailed military defense counsel, the accused service member, and our medical experts.
• Networking: Every new retained case you bring in pays substantial commission on top of your base.

Required Qualifications – Non-Negotiable

• Prior military paralegal experience working directly inside a JAG office, Trial Defense Service (TDS), or base legal office (Army 27D, Navy Legalman, AF 5J0X1, USMC 4421, Coast Guard YN-Legal or equivalent)
• Hands-on experience supporting actual courts-martial or Article 32 preliminary hearings
• Existing, active network of military contacts who trust you and will send cases your way
• Proven ability to pull and digest military records quickly and accurately
• Flawless attention to military procedure, deadlines, and rules (RCM, MRE, etc.)
• Absolute integrity and discretion—security-clearance-level loyalty
• Self-starter who needs zero supervision and thrives on commission-based growth

This is an entrepreneurial role inside an established firm. You get the stability and resources of a successful medicolegal company plus uncapped earning potential in the military defense space. Top performers routinely clear six figures in Year 1.


If you’re a former military paralegal who knows exactly where the cases are, can pick up the phone and make them happen, and wants to combine your JAG-office experience with big earning potential—this is your seat.


Send your resume and a short note (or 2-minute Loom video) explaining:

1. Your specific military paralegal/JAG experience
2. Why you already have the contacts to start generating cases immediately
