Looking for atty to handle car rental co. Claim against a friend in Paris France. Rented from Enterprise in CA.

I work at a small, 3 lawyer firm. One of the lawyers is not barred in the state we practice. Because of this, the managing attorney has been having him draft motions and other legal documents and use my name and bar number and having me file them because I will have to appear in court for the matter. Is this normal? I am not provided time to review the materials before I file them so I end up working longer days because I am nervous to file something using my name and bar number.

I want convert every lead I can. Does anyone have tips, books, cle’s or studied this topic?

Does anybody have a good guide or resource they can point to in regards to show clients how to organize their documents for our firm?

We are a firm of 5 transactional attorneys and the bonus structure is very unclear. The usual “based on personal performance and firm profitability” language.
