Guided by our core values of faith, service, accountability, leadership, and loyalty, we have built a culture where results, integrity, and compassion are inseparable.

As we expand into New Jersey, we are seeking a seasoned personal injury attorney to help establish the foundation of our operations—designing the systems, forms, and processes that will ensure consistency and excellence across every case we handle.

Job Description

We are hiring an experienced New Jersey Personal Injury Attorney  to help us launch and lead our New Jersey office. This position is ideal for a highly organized attorney who thrives on structure, systems, and precision. You will manage select personal injury cases while taking the lead in building and documenting the firm’s SOPs, workflows, and operational playbooks  for the state.

Initially remote, this role will transition to in-office leadership as our physical office opens in Northern New Jersey (Edison / Newark area).

  • Conduct client interviews, case evaluations, and discovery.
  • Draft pleadings, motions, and other legal filings.
  • Negotiate with insurance carriers and defense counsel to achieve optimal results.
  • Represent clients in mediations, depositions, and court proceedings when necessary.
  • Leadership and Collaboration
  • Train, mentor, and guide local staff as the office grows.

  • Serve as the primary liaison between the New Jersey office and firm leadership.
  • Model excellence, accountability, and alignment with firm culture and values.
  • Compensation and Details

  • Salary :  $125,000 – $180,000 (commensurate with experience and process-development capability).
  • Schedule :  Monday – Friday, 8 : 30 AM – 6 : 30 PM EST.
  • Location :  Edison / Newark, NJ area (remote initially; in-office once established).
  • Benefits :  Comprehensive health, dental, vision, life insurance, paid time off, 401(k) with company match, and professional development support.
  • Qualifications

  • Active New Jersey Bar license (required).
  • Minimum 5+ years of personal injury experience , with strong command of both pre-litigation and litigation processes.
  • Demonstrated success in creating or implementing law firm processes or SOPs .
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills, particularly in drafting workflows and policy documentation.
  • High level of professionalism, integrity, and client-centered judgment.
  • Proven ability to lead with structure and inspire operational discipline.
  • Additional Information

    This is a unique opportunity to build something from the ground up —to shape the systems and standards that will define The Ward Law Group’s New Jersey operations for years to come. You will have direct access to firm leadership, a platform for innovation, and the satisfaction of transforming experience into legacy.  Join The Ward Law Group and help us make a difference in the lives of our clients—one case at a time.
