Any experience working @ Chad Jones law?
I’m currently discontent with my income.
(3rd year. Salary=80k and no performance incentive. I brought in $1.4mm AFTER partners claimed over half of fees on my big cases.)
I see CJL offers an incentive+ base but I’m curious about that structure.
Any good or bad firm culture to speak of?
Is it impossible to actually earn a respectable incentive bonus?
Am I going to have some partner come cut me out of any cases where I might actually make a solid fee?

You brought in 1.4mm in attorneys fees running the cases by yourself? How many total cases did you settle? Did you originate any of the 1.4mm?

If you are running your own cases, I'd recommend negotiating for your payment structure to receive a percentage of the fees, instead of a decent salary.

You absolutely need to get a cut of the fees you bring in. 40% is the market rate.

Also, this may be a stupid question but what is "mm"?
