I have never worked there, but I have been on the opposite side of them. The turnover seems very high. I wouldn't say they have a great reputation amongst the defense community. I've heard there is some sort of panel or committee that determines settlement amounts, and you don't have much control or something crazy like that. I'd say there are probably better Plaintiff’s firms out there, if that's what you are looking for.

Hi, you are commenting in the wrong bowl. This is about legal work.

Much better plaintiff firms out there. They are big, but earlier comment is correct that their hands are often tied on settlement amounts, which makes mediation a waste of time frequently. They overload on cases and often many will sit without any movement. I have had many where opposing counsel won't return an email or phone call, and several cases are plagued by motions to compel over discovery issues that shouldn't be an issue given clear prevailing law or rules. The list goes on.

I used to work there as an attorney. All I can say is stay away from them. Unless you have connections to those at the top, it’s not the place to be. There is extreme high turnover at M&M and they know it too. Let me know if you have any questions.

I wonder if we worked together when I was there but this is 100% true. It’s just the name with them, that’s it and all.

Try Lanza Law Firm. You will like them a whole lot better! Trust me on this!

I have but obviously not as an attorney so I can’t say from that aspect but I agree. There are better plaintiff firms.

And we just lay there as I cried, and then got up. Had a drink.

Said boyfriend left years ago, and now I have a wonderful man who just asked me what type of dance lessons I want for our wedding next year.

Don’t give up.

I'm a third year plaintiff's employment law attorney and I'm looking to move to defense, preferably still in employment law. I received an offer from a midsize firm that primarily focuses on PI with little-to-no employment law practice, so I'll have a bit of a learning curve. Offer is $90k, billable hours of 2100. Is this reasonable? I'm dead-set on leaving my current job, and this would be a $20k pay increase - which makes me believe I'm leaning towards taking it for those reasons only.

Just had a hearing on my motion to compel where OC told the judge we hadn’t conferred before filing the motion. Not only did I attempt to confer on 3 separate dates, I attached the emails and his response that he refused to confer to my motion. Judge didn’t care, as soon as she heard him say we hadn’t conferred she denied the motion. Not asking a question, just needed to vent.
