Jordan W. Peagler
Personal Injury Lawyer
MKP Law Group, LLP

My workday starts with answering emails and mapping out the rest of the day. After emails, I try to tackle the most pressing tasks that have deadlines coming up, such as responding to discovery requests or filing motions. I am also taking calls throughout the day from clients, other attorneys, or doctor’s offices. I am also constantly negotiating with insurance adjusters to settle cases. Sometimes we have partner strategy meetings where we map out a plan of attack on certain files that are in litigation. I usually end my day working on the business side of the firm, such as updating the finances or writings checks to vendors.

As a litigation attorney, sometimes the work-life-balance can be skewed dramatically towards work, while other times it may leave you with extra free time to focus on your life. Many days it seems that there is never enough time in the day. However, at other times when files are up-to-date and in a good overall position, you have the flexibility to focus on personal matters or even take time off.

All jobs create stress and pressure, but being an attorney creates even more stress because you represent other people’s interests as a fiduciary. If you make a single mistake, it can lead to your client losing out on a million-dollar contract or, in criminal matters, being convicted of a felony and sentenced to jail time. Those same stressors make the job all the more rewarding when you deliver a positive result for your client though, because the issues at hand are so personally important to the client.
