Have you ever regretted taking on a PI case? I finally had mine, absolute nightmare client. It's been nothing but stress and anxiety since, all I can do is deal with this case and then go to bed when I get home. It's really taking it's toll.

Buckle up, it won’t be your last lol. My rule of them is as long as you’re in a place where 10% of your clients are nightmares instead of 90%, you’re golden.

Many times my friend. Many times. Sometimes you're in a rut and take cases you shouldn't. Sometimes the case seems good and turns into a nightmare. Sometimes you feel bad and want to help. Sometimes it's for a friend. Won't be your last

That sucks, and sadly that’s typical of employers to do to new members in my experience. It’s why I’ve left many firms, I constantly got stuck with the most problematic cases/clients paired with the most toxic/laziest attorney in the firm. It drives me insane that they don’t just take the problematic caseload and either fire the egregious clients, or at least divvy up the problematic caseload to ALL of the attorneys evenly. All hands on deck, why should you be responsible for cleaning up someone else’s mess and take the responsibility for it alone?

Yes. The first time the client mentions firing you, politely make the decision for them and cut ties.
