Can someone share salary expectations for a 2023 graduate around the Miami and Fort Lauderdale area? Medium to large size firm. Litigation for personal injury - asbestos - first party. I’m helping my wife get some insight on salary ranges. She’s a paralegal in such firm. Will graduate December 2023 and take the BAR in Feb 2024.

Curious as well.

Depends defense or plaintiff. Plaintiff lawyers usually make 40-60k coming out with a bonus incentive per case they settle or some other bonus structure. Usually 3-15%, 20-33% for cases originated. Overall, prob like 70-<100k. Defense, you usually make a higher salary a much smaller bonus. (I made 75k out of school at a mid size defense firm with 3k in bonuses). Four years later i made 250k. But i also landed a big case this year in a state my firm is not licensed and only made 170k at my full time job.

Large firms = biglaw...1000+ attys....only getting those jobs graduating from top schools/top of your class or know someone and can make $150k+ out of school and have no life.
