How much would you pay per hour to have an attorney draft motions and briefs?

Evaluating a job offer (yay!)
I have 8 years of HR experience, no college degree, and no HR certification. Titles held have been HR Specialist, HR Administrator, HR Generalist, Associate HR Manager, and most recently, HR Director for only four months (toxic). Geographically speaking, salaries are not very high. I was offered $45k in an hourly role as a site HR rep for a hotel with about 50 employees in a bustling college town. Should I try to negotiate more pay? Any input is appreciated.

Just gave notice...but did not say where I am going. HR says they will send My NDA to my new corporate HR. Is this usual?

Besides San Sebastián, what other city should I consider visiting in the Basque Country in northern Spain?

I’ve been trying to recruit attorneys to join our team at my firm but it’s been incredibly difficult to do so, even for friends of mine who I know are working at firms which are really terrible. It seemed a lot easier to get people before Covid hit as people changed firms all the time but now it seems much more difficult.

Has anybody had this same experience? Does anybody know the cause? Finally, does anybody have any helpful tips?

Starting a FT with a startup and it has a minimum 8 weeks notice to leave the team. Although i have no intention to leave rn, and I’d like to grow with it for some more time, this is extremely long from the average 2 weeks.

Is this common in start-ups? It’s an awkward point to bring up when about to sign on… is this worth negotiating?

Hi folks,

If a person resigns on April month when yearly reviews are going to happen and bonus are being sent out.
So, can he get the performance bonus because he served the last whole year with dedication?

It would be helpful if managers can answer this because they are the people who approves or decline this request.

Changed my brake pads and rotors last night on my car - really wasn’t that hard and I saved myself at least $300, $800 vs what the dealer was charging. Also got a nice sense of accomplishment out of it!

A lot of basic skilled labor can be worth learning and can really save you a lot of money. Most contractors in my area are often north of $100/hr for labor. I’ve often found the quality of my work to be better too. I think more folks shouldn’t be scared to get their hands dirty sometimes

App for writ of HB filed and served (not by sheriff) with no order for hearing filed yet there is a hearing date set. Does my client have to go? He lives in a different county. I think it's a ploy for OC to be able to properly serve him in court. Debating on whether or not to show up. I entered a special appearance and mtn to dismiss for this motion only. Do i go and risk getting served in a county far away from my client's home?

Someone please tell me if I am crazy. I am at a family law firm with approximately 25 attorneys. I previously worked at small shops where I essentially handled everything myself with no support staff. Now at my current firm I have a paralegal who really only makes my job more difficult… am I crazy to say that I don’t need a paralegal as I am comfortable operating as a solo and pay me slightly. I’m already pretty much operating on my own anyway. Feel like it’s a win win.

If your client hired a life coach/consultant to help them through a family law matter, what would you want them to focus on and what’s hands off?

How many of you have taken cases to your state court of last resort? My firm is taking a child welfare case to our state supreme court (not NY— so the actual last court.) Just curious about others’ experience(s). Very clear from the intermediate court that the panel didn’t bother to read the record on appeal. Very frustrating that my client’s last shot is discretionary when the trial court ignored my client and the one guaranteed appeal had a panel that couldn’t bother

Solos - how did you know when you were ready to hire a FT attorney?

HYPOTHETICAL: Your divorce client found what is likely very illegal drugs in their spouse’s suitcase (they innocently borrowed the suitcase). There’s no legitimate chain of custody here for an arrest. How would you use this in the custody case? Would you simply have police pick it up from your office and fill out a report (knowing they won’t test the substance for a definitive conclusion)? The type of presumed drug exits the system within 4 days so a court ordered drug test may be useless.

Any New York attorneys come across any interesting or helpful case law lately? Reading a recent update, there was a decision that said where a parent uses a temporary order of legal and physical custody to exclude the other parent, it's within the Court's rights (with other factors) to interpret that as an inability to coparent and award custody to the prior non-custodial parent.

What are people’s thoughts/feelings on the out-of-office/auto-reply when an atty’s attention is focused on one matter (I.e. “I’m in a full day hearing, so my response will be delayed”). My initial reaction was: you’re not really out. You’re still doing your job, your job at the time just happens to be exclusively one case.
