I am in my 3rd year of practice and switching to Plaintiff’s from ID. A boutique firm offered me a base salary of $105k, 7.5% of the fees I generate. This goes up to 15% once I generate 700k.

This sounds like a way better deal than most from my experience reading these posts and working in plaintiffs PI for 10 years

like

Sounds good assuming “generate” means collections on the cases you work as opposed to cases you bring in.

On cases you bring into the firm you should get a lot more (at least in states that allow referral fees).

like

As long as you get a big cut of cases you bring in yourself, and you aren’t handling terrible cases, this is a good deal.

like

Oh that’s terrible. You need to be getting at least 1/3 of the attorney’s fee for cases you bring in yourself

like

Solid deal. Right on par with what we offer, touch more on the %

like

7.5% is good.

like

This is pretty damn good; do you have a separate agreement for cases you bring in? If not, definitely ask for a 1/3 of the attorney’s fees generated.

like

It can be hard to generate cases but your quality of life will increase drastically which IMO makes up for lower pay. Just get out there as much as possible to develop referral sources.
