Pent up demand!

We never had a slow down but its definitely picked up speed recently. We've been paperless for years so we all just picked our laptops, multiple screens and went home on Mar 13. Other firms were, and still are, trying to cope with distancing in the office. Our biggest problem is the delays caused by court rescheduling. Every attorney in our firm has approximately 30 cases and we've had to stop taki g consults.

Hi
I am a software developer with 2.4 years of experience and looking for a job change. I am holding two offers from bain and company ( software developer - 12.5 lpa) and neudesic technologies (consultant 2 - 16 lpa) . Which one should i join considering better work opportunities and work culture?

I (28F) went on a date and everything was going great until the guy (33M) revealed he was currently carrying an active handgun on his belt for protection. I talked to some friends and family about this and they don't think it's a big deal. The date was otherwise really great. I just can't seem to get over this piece.

What do you think is a reasonable total fee for a prenuptial agreement where both parties have significant assets and there is some negotiation?

I had a prenup a few weeks ago that came out to $7,000 and another about $5500, and I didn’t overbill, but I am willing to write some off if that seems excessive or I am just slow. There were several negotiations on the higher priced one. (Continued…)

Does it make sense to ask court to enforce by order requiring husband to pay what wife has paid and secondarily seeking contempt and to purge husband has to submit to citation to discover assets?

I’m a second year associate at a small, but reputable firm. My caseload is almost entirely made up of clients who were referred to one of the partners but the partners are too busy so I end up taking the case. The clients are told up front that an associate, rather than a partner will be taking his/her case. I’ve run into an issue a couple of times where the client doubts my advice because I am only 2 years in. Has anyone else experienced this? How do I address the fact that I’m only 2 years in?

Is it important to offer support staff that speak a foreign language or is it sufficient if the attorney can communicate with the client? We had one bilingual paralegal and another who is not. The bilingual one left us some time ago.

Thus, we are left with one who can’t communicate with about 25% of our clients. And there just isn’t enough revenue to support two paralegals despite my partner pushing us to hire.
