Billing is an art and I'm drawing stick figures. I'm terrible at catching time, especially time spent reviewing files so I can do check-ins, short email responses, task/deadline management, etc. Managing partner has a magic brain that retains info like no joke, but I typically have to check the file and "relearn" where the case is before I can do X. How can I capture more time and make it clear to a client that the "quick" task reasonably took .3 or .4? And/or any billing guides to share?

Hi! I interviewed for a Digital Marketing Analyst for an agency for Data Center and Telecom PR/ Tech. Since we are virtual country wide, he asked what my salary requirement would be for this role. I haven’t had this type of position before and am unsure what to say. I want to reach for the stars but don’t want to come across with a scary offer. Can anyone advise or have any salary ranges? No info on Glassdoor for salaries at the company! I will be living near the SF Bay Area.

Any attorneys in the Bay Area practicing just in estate planning (not litigation), can you give your take on whether you would get enough business to do only planning? I'm currently doing family law and I want to start moving away from litigation. For family law there really isn't a non litigation role that produces enough business (i.e. mediation). I do okay, but definitely have to take on more litigation than I prefer. I was thinking estate planning might be a good addition to the mix.
