Congrats on your first job! I'm not familiar with criminal so not sure what the salaries are like there
My first job was at a small family law firm in LA of about 13 attorneys. My first year salary was $87,500 in 2015.
Congratulations!
Congrats! I’d say $90,000 based on that area and practice fields.
Small firms vary widely. A few pay market, some pay peanuts. For PI/criminal etc., I'd expect the firm to be on the lower end. I think you are looking for a number so maybe...$120k??? I could see $100k for a small firm, and have certainly heard of salaries lower than that. I don't know Orange County though, so this is kind of a shot in the dark.
Worked at a small firm in Orange County right out of law school and initial salary was $85k. Very low IMO
120 probably
I'm at a tiny firm in the OC and at 120k.
