You already know what PI work looks like.

What matters now is where you do it.

At Kisner Law, we are building a plaintiff-side law firm designed for people who are good at what they do and want an environment that actually supports that.

We are not trying to be the biggest volume mill in the region. We are focused on building a strong, modern, systems-driven firm where talented people can grow, contribute, and genuinely enjoy working together.

Why Attorneys Want to Work Here

We know experienced attorneys have options, so we focus heavily on creating an environment where people can actually thrive long-term.

At Kisner Law, you’ll find:

• Leadership that is accessible, collaborative, and invested in the team
• Support staff and systems designed to help cases move efficiently
• A growing firm where strong performers have real opportunities for advancement
• Less bureaucracy and more ownership
• A team that values professionalism without the “stiff law firm” atmosphere
• High standards balanced with mutual respect and support
• A workplace where ideas are welcomed, and initiative is appreciated

We are intentional about building infrastructure, workflows, and culture before growth becomes chaos.

You’ll Probably Like It Here If:

• You enjoy plaintiff-side advocacy and negotiation
• You like autonomy but still value teamwork
• You care about client experience, not just file volume
• You appreciate organized systems and operational efficiency
• You enjoy helping shape and improve processes
• You want to work somewhere that feels ambitious but sustainable

The Role

You’ll manage personal injury and workers’ compensation matters from intake through resolution, including litigation support, negotiations, strategy, and client advocacy.

You know the work already. What matters to us is finding someone who is proactive, organized, collaborative, and genuinely invested in delivering strong outcomes for clients.
