Executive Assistant to Personal Injury Attorney — Grow Into Operations (Full-Time, Remote)

I'm hiring the person who answers before I finish asking.

You know the one. The friend who replies to the group chat in under a minute. The coworker who already made the doc before the meeting ended. The person who hears "someone should handle that" and has it handled before anyone figures out who "someone" was.

If that's you, keep reading. If you're stuck in a job where you're doing that already and nobody's noticed, definitely keep reading.
I'm Hunter Garnett, a personal injury lawyer and the owner of Garnett Patterson Injury Lawyers in Huntsville, Alabama. I run a team of dozens, and I work in bursts — early mornings, late nights, weekends, whenever the case needs it. I try to respect my team's time. But I'll be honest: the fastest way to impress me is to be responsive. Nothing else comes close.
Here's the real job.

You'll own my inbox. Triage it, answer what you can, flag what needs me, and make sure nothing sits. You'll sit in on my meetings, take the notes, and turn my scattered thinking into a clean list of what happens next. You'll run my to-do list, and I mean run it: delegate what belongs to someone else, knock out what you can yourself, and keep the big-ticket items in front of me so I stop drowning in the small ones. You'll watch our dashboards and KPIs and tell me when a number moves before I have to ask.

The short version: your job is to reduce the noise in my life so I can do the part only a lawyer can do.

Here's why this role is different from the last EA job you looked at. You won't stay an EA. As you earn trust, you'll start helping me oversee our mid-level managers and track performance across dozens of team members. If you've got a background in digital marketing, operations, or project management and you're ready for more responsibility than your current job will give you, this is where you get it. Personal injury experience is a huge plus but not required. Being sharp, organized, and fast is.
What this is not: a wait-for-instructions job. We do a daily check-in and a weekly tag-up. Between those, you figure out what needs to happen and you make it happen. If you need someone standing over your shoulder, you'll be miserable here. If you've been waiting for someone to get out of your way, you'll feel like we built this for you.

The details. Full-time. Remote. Flexible hours, but you need real overlap with US Central business hours and you need to be reachable. Pay: $7.50–$12.50/hour, reviewed as your responsibilities grow. We're a faith-driven firm and our Christian faith shapes how we treat clients and each other; you don't have to share it, but you should be comfortable working somewhere it matters. Tools we live in: Filevine, Microsoft 365, and Asana. Target start: as soon as we find the right person.

P.S. To apply, email ---------- with the subject line "I answer before you finish asking" and tell me about a time you fixed a problem before your boss knew it existed. Best answers get read first. Fast replies get noticed.
