About Us
The Jeffcoat Firm is a respected South Carolina personal injury firm with a reputation for results, heart, and hustle. Our team of attorneys has recovered nearly $100 million for clients across the state — from Columbia and Greenville to Charleston and Myrtle Beach. But numbers only tell part of the story.
What sets us apart is how we get there: with humility, grit, and relentless advocacy for real people. Whether we’re in the courtroom or the conference room, we treat every case — and every client — like they matter. Because they do.
We reject ego. We embrace growth. We make no excuses — and expect the same from every team member.
Now, as we scale to meet increasing demand, we’re looking for a seasoned Supervising Attorney to bring structure, accountability, and strategic leadership to our personal injury division.

- Provide tactical feedback, mentorship, and real-time coaching to attorneys at all levels.
Drive Operational Excellence
- Own team performance metrics — including case velocity, revenue goals, and litigation success rates.
- Identify bottlenecks and resolve them before they impact client outcomes.
- Partner with firm leadership on workflow, staffing, and systemic improvements.
- Support hiring, onboarding, and development of legal talent.
Step In Strategically
- Lead complex or high-impact cases as needed, from strategy through settlement or trial.
- Review legal work product, discovery plans, pleadings, motions, and expert strategy.
- Ensure communication standards are upheld across all client touchpoints.

- Provide thoughtful leadership and development for newly licensed and mid-level attorneys.
- Support our law student programs through mentorship and oversight.

What you bring:
Experience
- Active South Carolina Bar license in good standing (required).
- 5–7+ years of plaintiff-side personal injury experience, including litigation.
- 1+ years in a supervisory or management role.
- Experience mentoring attorneys, managing teams, and navigating both high-volume and high-complexity cases.
- Comfort with modern legal tech: Filevine, Salesforce, and AI-enhanced tools a plus.
Traits We Admire
