Paralegal, Case Manager

Rafi, Brown, and Stokes is a personal injury law firm based in Atlanta, Georgia at 1776 Peachtree Street. We focus on a small number of cases and seek to maximize the value of each case. We represent victims—people injured in tractor-trailer, commercial motor vehicle, and automobile accidents; people stabbed, shot, or assaulted in negligent security cases; and others who are seriously injured. We are a tight knit team of 5 lawyers and 5 staff members who work together to win cases for our clients. We like to think that the cases work on are not run-of-the-mill, but interesting and challenging. Many of our cases have been featured in the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, Marietta Daily Journal, 11Alive, and other publications. These are the type of cases that the person in this role will work on.

What our other paralegals are saying

Because we are a small firm, we all get along well. We want someone that contributes to that culture. So, we asked what our current paralegals like about their jobs here. This what they said:

• “I like helping people through their tough times in a tangible way. You can tell you’re making a difference in their lives.”
• “I’ve worked at other firms and the biggest difference here is the attorneys. I like the people I work with, and we have the best lawyers of any firms I know of that do what we do.”
• “I like my independence. Everyone was quick to trust me and there is no micro-managing.”
• “I like that our clients count on me. A lot of them are really hurt and it makes me feel good when I’m able to help them get them what they need to help them recover and heal.”
• “I have worked in personal injury law for 19 years. I need to be challenged and learn new things at my job to be happy where I work. This firm allows me to do that in an environment where everyone has the same goals of helping people.”

Who we want to work with

A lot of job postings say the ideal candidate has at least 2 years of law firm work experience, as a paralegal, case manager, or other staff position. In addition, they want someone with an associate degree (preferably in paralegal studies), a paralegal certificate, or a bachelor’s degree. Fluent Spanish speakers have an advantage.

To some extent we are the same way—we would like those applicants too. But most importantly, we want people who “buy in” to what we are doing here. We want people motivated to help people since that is our own motivation. We also want people who work hard, are sympathetic to our clients, and take pride and ownership in what they do. If that is you, we want you to work with us regardless of your experience or education.

As a Case Manager, you would be coordinating all aspects of cases from the potential client’s first phone call to our firm through pre-litigation. Case Managers gather and analyze intake information and relevant documents, maintain contact with insurance companies, investigate crashes/crimes/etc., draft documents to help our clients case, communicate with our clients about their cases and needs, draft demands to try to settle cases, and close out files upon completion.

• Assist in answering phones
