Job Description

Description:

We are a high-volume personal injury firm seeking a licensed Georgia attorney to handle bankruptcy and probate court approvals tied to our active PI caseload. This is a focused, procedural role: you will protect settlement proceeds, secure required court authorizations, and advise our litigation and pre-litigation teams when bankruptcy or probate issues arise within injury cases.

This is not a consumer bankruptcy practice, an estate planning role, or a standalone probate position. Every matter you touch originates from an active personal injury file.

Bankruptcy (Settlement-Related)

Review intake and conduct PACER searches to identify active or prior filings. Advise case attorneys on disclosure obligations and exposure. Prepare and file motions to approve compromise of claims. File motions to reopen cases when required. Coordinate with Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 trustees on settlement proceeds. Ensure court authorization before any disbursement.

Probate & Estate (Injury-Driven)

Handle minor settlement approvals in Probate Court. Assist families in establishing an estate when a client dies after representation begins but not as a result of the underlying tort. Obtain Letters Testamentary or Letters of Administration as needed. Coordinate allocation between wrongful death proceeds and estate claims. Prepare and present structured settlements for judicial approval. Coordinate guardianship or conservatorship filings when required.

Preferred Experience

Licensed Georgia attorney with working knowledge of federal bankruptcy procedure and Georgia probate law as applied to personal injury settlements. Experience with structured settlements and pooled special needs trusts is a plus.

Requirements:

Active member of the State Bar of Georgia in good standing, or a candidate scheduled to sit for the July 2026 bar examination.
