This must be a new firm - two named partners are 2015 grads of TX A&M. I’ve been practicing in Dallas since 2018 and have never seen this firm on a pleading or heard of these guys. Lots of lawyers here, but I’ve done a lot of PL defense work for large manufacturers and commercial litigation (which are circles SWP claims to run in). Hope they’re nice, and good luck.

Yeah I was doing some digging on linked in and it looks like a combination of a 2 or 3 smaller firms. So maybe I’ll do some research on those. Thanks for the well wishes!

Hello guys! I work as a Campus Tech, I deal with 1200 kids for a Charter K-8th grade and 100 staff.

But I’m debating on the pay I feel as I’m under pay for the amount of work that I do, troubleshooting Chromebook’s, laptops, printers, & projects…anything that plugs into the wall I cover. Does anyone else work with school district doing IT work for. My end goal is getting to an ISD school

TIA!

Bit of a niche topic: I’ve been in TS/SCI processing for a Science/Tech/Weapons analyst position with the CIA for 3 yrs since I finished grad school in chemistry, but CIA positions are sort of set it and forget it since they can take so long. I’ve since been focused on a Patent Attorney track and am with a firm that will support me taking the patent bar/law school. If I get through processing and go to the CIA for some time, do you think would I be accepted back into patent law later on?
