About Us

At The Law Office of Jennifer McCoy, we represent landlords and property managers in high-volume housing matters. Our team is known for being sharp, organized, and efficient—and we take pride in doing things the right way. We believe excellent client service and strong courtroom results can (and should) coexist with a workplace that’s supportive, upbeat, and no-drama.

This is a Court-Centered Role (Read This Carefully)

This job is not a mix of “some court” and “some office work.”

This is a full-time litigation workflow focused almost entirely on daily court appearances in Middle Tennessee.

If you’re looking for a role drafting contracts all day, working behind the scenes, or rarely stepping into a courtroom—this is not the right fit.

If you love courtroom reps, moving a high-volume docket efficiently, and leaving work at work at the end of the day—keep reading.

What You’ll Do

• Attend court in Middle Tennessee nearly every weekday (this is the core of the job)
• Prepare and manage your daily dockets from start to finish
• Handle bench trials and contested hearings confidently and professionally
• Speak directly with defendants/residents and opposing counsel to resolve cases when possible
• Communicate with clients and property staff to prepare for hearings and trial testimony
• Draft, submit, and circulate orders and agreed judgments

• Independently manage a high-volume caseload with strong organization and follow-through

What We’re Looking For

• Juris Doctor (JD)
• Licensed to practice law in Tennessee (required)
• Courtroom confidence – you don’t freeze up, and you don’t dread hearings
• A calm, professional presence with the ability to handle pressure respectfully
• Strong communication skills (with clients, court staff, and opposing parties)
• Ability to stay organized, meet aggressive deadlines, and run your cases efficiently
• Someone who enjoys high-volume work and can take ownership of their docket

Why You’ll Love This Role

• Clear responsibilities — your job is your docket, and you own it
• Efficient, manageable workload — this role can absolutely be done in 40 hours/week
