I'm curious what the average salary is for an Associate Agent. I'm licensed & do everything after the sale is made as well as refer new business. I have 14 years in the industry but have been at the current company less than a year, so I know that plays a part as well. Anyone in a like-position by chance?State Farm Allstate Travelers

I support 4 attorneys right now, 3 of which need lots of support, the 4th one is a baby attorney who mostly does her own work. My workload is comfortable. I've seen legal admins supporting 6 or more attorneys, and I don't know how they do it, quite honestly.
I’m a legal assistant supporting 9 attorneys (3 partners, 1 special counsel, 3 senior associates, 1 mid-level associate, and 1 baby attorney). It’s a heavy workload for sure.
There's a big variety on what supporting an attorney can actually look like, depending on the attorney personality and working styles, plus the scope of your duties as it fits into a larger team.
The most I've had assigned to me at once is three, and when I was at that number I did not give the third nearly as much of my time as the other two.
I don't know how anyone could assist 9, that sounds insane.
Thankfully I never had a situation where the attorneys were not considerate of the fact that I get work from the others, or willing to shift priorities if another attorney had something urgent come up.
