Any tips on getting out of document review?
I’m at the end of my ropes with this job. I had a job at my local prosecutor’s office after the bar (class of 2017) where I made $35,000. I left after 3 months to work in private practice because I wanted to be able to survive on my salary and not live in my parent’s basement (no success there). I did criminal defense and domestic relations cases and was absolutely miserable. I quit after 3 months and went into document review and now I’m stuck.

Anyone have experience on consulting to law school? Big 4 consulting to law school more specifically potentially? Curious as to what you’ve heard about how the transition is. Cost, time, relationship effects. Curious to hear others experiences. Also haven’t sat or studied for the LSAT fully yet. Already have a master’s that’s not impacting my salary in my consulting field yet at B4. Can’t seem to shake that law school inkling in the back of my brain still.

So I work as an assistant manager at a restaurant for the past 9 months. I've worked in restaurants for the past 6 years science I was 16. Now I'm 22. I went to a trade school for media and film.

Should I take the chance at this job and leave the restaurant that is on the rise and growing?

Do you find it difficult to collect bills from clients? How much does your practice currently have outstanding? If a client doesn’t pay, do you wait a year and then send them a demand letter? Would anyone ever consider using a firm that specializes in collecting unpaid attorney fees?

Why are some lawyers so unprofessional to other lawyers? The other day an attorney threatened to report me to the bar in a very aggressive phone call.
