Anyone?

What is a “generic” version of an existing law firm?

Sounds like a bill mill that doesn’t respect their employees value as human beings. No thanks!

What exactly is a “volume law firm for criminal defense”? How does it work?

My thoughts too. Not sure how you would get volume level clients without a pre-existing funnel structure in place with a surplus of clients like in the public defense and insurance defense context

My firm has a collections budget (80% of your billable rate x 1850 hours) and an hourly budget that must be met in order to be eligible for a bonus. The firm cares very little about originations and will reward someone for making their collections over someone who brings in new work. I missed my collection budget due to some odd timing with a client, but originated more than all my peers so no bonus for me. I’ve been at this same mid level firm for 9 years and it’s all I know. Is this normal??
