Does anyone know about Brewer or their reputation? I know they aren’t “Big Law,” but they pay “Big Law,” so it felt an appropriate question for this group.

I think the reputation is justified from what I’ve heard from attorneys who have worked there.

Heard from former associates that it’s toxic, with very long hours. Most associates quit after 2 years.

I’m (early30s) about 8 months into a relationship with a 40m. Things are wonderful in every aspect, but he is absolutely atrocious with his finances. I felt it becoming an issue about two months ago. He forgets about auto payments and just generally doesn’t care. I sat down with him and looked at everything and even after talking it out he still continues to stress and it’s now causing me stress. I had a final discussion with him today about it and he went on abt how love isn’t enough for me…
