Anyone know of any exit opportunities that don’t require a case study interview? I hate them so much 😭.

Going to Charlioftsville next weekend, any wineries, restaurants, breweries, hiking etc...to do there during COVID. Appreciate your insight!!!!

So I’m in industry from big 4, and a colleague with same yoe comes from MBB. High paying tech firm. I think I work harder and produce quality content at speed, but they can hold executive conversations that tend to impress senior stakeholders.

Big 4 produces work horses and MBB produces leaders. Also they could be a work horse too since I don’t have full visibility.

Anyone have similar experiences or do I just suck at executive stakeholder management?

Any white collar defense attorneys care to share a day in the life? Best part of the work? Worst part of the work? Always been interesting in that area and want to work my way into it once I get off of leave.

Dear Friends,

I had my package discussion with HR and they asked me to submit the documents for approval. In the meantime I received a link from Capgemini to take the Mocha English Pro test.

Can anyone help me understand what this test is about and what kind of questions we can expect..I would appreciate your quick response as I have 2 days left to complete the test.
Thank you in advance.

I found out that I can make more money starting, buying and running businesses than I can in law. Plus I'm home at 6pm every night. Did anyone find that out?

Visiting San Diego for 4 nights in July. Staying in imperial beach area. Any recs?

Hi! I interned for Deloitte last summer, starting full-time this summer, and currently working a classified government job in-between. Will this be an issue during my second background check? Should I bring up to recruitment that I was contracted by the government in-between, or just leave it be? Thanks!

It gets above 65 degrees and the city smells like garbage again. Forgot about that

Why does insulin in the United States cost 10x what it costs in Canada?

Are there any ea roles hiring (mainly Chi but flex to elsewhere) with chill creatively minded environments? I am great at the work but can’t deal with the typical buttoned up seniority bootlicking LOL

Plaintiffs PI attorneys, how many cases on average are you assigned to at any given time?

Definitely going to be a noobie question!

My client's medical provider asked for his PIP ledger: how do I get that? Just send a LOR to the carrier and ask?

3P Policy Limits: $100k
Liability has been accepted
Property Damage: $10k
Current Medical Bills: $65k
MRI findings (lumbar): 4mm
Client has received 3 injections and a surgery rec for laser discectomy

Sent 2 policy limits demands. Adjuster offered $60k both times because they don’t see a “causal relationship” without offering us any articulated supporting facts.

The insured is a Radiologist, he appears to own a home valued over $2M.

Is this policy open? Best approach? Thoughts?

In an auto accident trial, can you inform the jury in any way that the at-fault driver had insurance? I have a hard time believing a jury would award 7-figure damages if they thought the little old lady defendant had to personally pay. I’m just starting to do PI on the side by myself at my firm, so this is probably a very dumb and obvious question.

Looking to hire a lawyer with 0-3 years experience for our PI practice in Charlotte, NC. Any suggestions on where to post the job? (besides the local law schools)

Thinking about starting my own plaintiff shop. What’s the best way to generate clients with a low marketing budget?

What % of settlements do you take home as an associate? Trying to gauge what I should be seeking in my next contract. Currently at 3% split prorated with all handling attys. Is this normal?

For Plaintiff's attorneys, how big is your caseload? What kind of cases are the majority of them and are they in suit? I am currently handling 150+ mostly MVAs and premise liability cases, just about all in suit, (on top of about 10 DUIs and other small traffic matters) and I feel like I'm drowning and looking to jump ship. What is normal/to be expected? In NYC area if that matters

I'm a 6th year attorney in NYC. Strictly defense work; started out with the City Law Dept, did a year and a half of med mal/construction, and for past year and a half have been at a well known defense firm working on high exposure construction accident cases. Contemplating taking a couple interviews at plaintiff's firms to see if there is a good fit. Does anyone have any advice on how approach discussions about compensation and what a market level comp package would or should look like?

Has anyone ever dealt with Geico UM case where they insist that a release needs to be signed? Geico extended our client’s policy limits but wants him to sign a release. We offered to sign an acknowledgment of receipt of funds but Geico said without a release signed, they will not issue payment.

Any NY state plaintiffs lawyers regularly handle $25k policy MVA cases? Any tips for profitably handling these? Thanks!

How do “commissions” on top of base salary typically work for pre-litigation associate compensation?

Anyone work in personal injury department for Morgan and Morgan in Orlando or any other central Florida office? If so, what is pay/salary for a 4th year? What can I expect case load wise? Easy transition from defense to Plaintiff? Any thoughts/experiences would be appreciated.

Mates- I’m getting a new iPad Pro and trying to decide between the Smart Keyboard and the magic keyboard. Also has anyone tried the white keyboard? I’m getting it tonight. Your thoughts would be appreciated

What are good KPIs for personal injury support staff?

How much support staff is reasonable to expect? Plaintiff PI, med mal/aviation and we’ve lost 2/4 “paralegals” in the last month. Lack of support staff really beginning to feel like it will limit my ability to handle the usual caseload. Was on an island before, and only going to get worse…

Anyone work for Morgan & Morgan? Do you know if they allow you to work remotely/hybrid? I’d like to apply with them but the closest office is an hour away and I don’t want that commute. I have a young child.

Does anyone like ID work? Currently doing work at a PI/Medmal plaintiffs firm while in school and trying to figure out where I’ll be happiest post-grad. I LOVE it, but don’t know if ID will provide more security. For context, I had a, albeit, short career prior to law school and will 30 when I graduate in May. Comp and WLB are important given my later start.
