Overview

Being good neighbors - helping people, investing in our communities, and making the world a better place - is who we are at State Farm. It is at the core of how we operate and the reason for our success. Come join a #1 team and do some good!

Responsibilities

As a Fortune 50 company, we hire the best employees to serve our customers, making us a leader in the insurance and financial services industry.

Amanda R. Cobb & Associates, insurance staff counsel for State Farm Insurance Companies, is seeking an Attorney to join the Birmingham, AL Claim Litigation office.
