Company Overview We are a nationally recognized medical expert witness consulting firm that has successfully expanded into military courts-martial and administrative boards by providing top-tier forensic psychiatrists, psychologists, toxicologists, and medical experts to defense teams worldwide. We have already handled numerous high-profile military cases (sexual assault, drug cases, officer misconduct, death investigations, etc.) and now seek one exceptional paralegal to drive growth in this division.
This is a hybrid hunter + case-manager role: you will actively originate new military court-martial opportunities that do not yet exist in our current pipeline, then serve as the primary paralegal and case coordinator once retained.
Key Responsibilities
- Proactive Lead Generation & Case Origination: Leverage your existing military legal contacts (former JAGs, TDS counsel, base legal offices, first sergeants, SARC/VA reps, online military defense groups, etc.) to identify and develop new courts-martial, administrative separation boards, and security-clearance cases for our medical experts.
- Own the File from Intake to Trial: Once a case is retained, you become the day-to-day case manager and paralegal—reviewing discovery (CID/NCIS/OSI reports, Article 32 transcripts, MRE 412/513/514/615 packets), drafting timelines and summaries for our experts, coordinating psychiatric evaluations and travel, assembling exhibit books, and supporting civilian defense counsel.
- Medical-Legal Bridge: Translate complex military investigative records into concise, medico-legally focused summaries so our forensic experts can hit the ground running.
- Client & Attorney Communication: Serve as the main point of contact between referring civilian counsel, detailed military defense counsel, the accused service member, and our medical experts.
- Networking: Every new retained case you bring in pays substantial commission on top of your base.
Required Qualifications – Non-Negotiable
- Prior military paralegal experience working directly inside a JAG office, Trial Defense Service (TDS), or base legal office (Army 27D, Navy Legalman, AF 5J0X1, USMC 4421, Coast Guard YN-Legal or equivalent)
- Hands-on experience supporting actual courts-martial or Article 32 preliminary hearings
- Existing, active network of military contacts who trust you and will send cases your way
- Proven ability to pull and digest military records quickly and accurately
- Flawless attention to military procedure, deadlines, and rules (RCM, MRE, etc.)
- Absolute integrity and discretion—security-clearance-level loyalty
- Self-starter who needs zero supervision and thrives on commission-based growth
This is an entrepreneurial role inside an established firm. You get the stability and resources of a successful medicolegal company plus uncapped earning potential in the military defense space. Top performers routinely clear six figures in Year 1.
If you’re a former military paralegal who knows exactly where the cases are, can pick up the phone and make them happen, and wants to combine your JAG-office experience with big earning potential—this is your seat.
Send your resume and a short note (or 2-minute Loom video) explaining:
- Your specific military paralegal/JAG experience
- Why you already have the contacts to start generating cases immediately
