Think they did a good job on this piece. It was a truly embarrassing moment for the firm, but I think it’s being handled as well as can be expected. Should go smoothly this year 🤞

Honestly, it sounds like a good offer! My old firm was 100% commission which started at 10%. I bumped up to 12% in 2022 and made $320k. I did pre lit and lit. My only concern would be that you don’t have a ton of PI experience yet so the commission may be a little difficult for the first year or two. However, commission in PI is the best and I would never recommend doing PI without having part commission. I switched firms and now I have a base of $120k with 10% commission. Made 24k last month.
Oh my, your last months salary would change so much for me. Good for you, and thank you for the info. They want to have a conversation on Wednesday, so trying to get as much info before then, will make it a point to ask further inquire on commission. I appreciate your insight so thank you -and congrats on your success.
So, I got an offer for a Personal Injury attorney in San Antonio, TX (wife's an Austin native) an area which we were already thinking about moving too. The midsize firm spans cities and states, and I'd handle pre-litigation and litigation with an expected caseload of 150. Offer: $80,000 base salary, 10% attorney's fee after hitting $150,000. No idea of this is standard, said, good, decent or bad. The Partner mentioned how attorneys "eat what they kill."
I’ll note: one friend from law school who works for the same firm/different state has a base of $60K but pulled $350K in 2023 and $220K in 2022, so it sounds promising. Still, if I take this position, I’m uprooting my family, yanking my eldest from a good school etc so it’s just hard to remedy the consequences of making an uninformed decision. I’ll do it if there’s high potential to improve my family’s quality of life as money became the main concern after having twins. Wife worked as nighttime nurse on mother/baby delivery floor for recently having to quit due to necessity: I can’t work all day the only parent available all night then handle, full docket of hearings or start a jury trial. Although we need the money, one year of this life, left us without options, and my salaries enough to barely cover living expenses so we made the decision to prioritize that over joint income.
As a government attorney, Personal Injury pay structures are a foreign language – bonuses, percentages, settlements. I've done my fair share of jury trials, negotiated highly contested/emotional cases, so in my view, effectively transitioning turns on familiarizing myself with the law. Negotiating with companies and adjusters, or trial if need be. But about pay and workload, can anyone shed light? Interested in upward potential – my pay changing annually based on my work. Already working long and hard, but with no end in sight in government roles.
Are PI attorneys in mid-large sized firms generally hired as for either pre or post-litigation? I was told my position would be both. Any difference in pay structure for someone hired strictly pre-litigation VS litigation?
Can anyone shed light on day-to-day of a PI attorney? Advice on follow up questions to ask partners? Honestly -any inside, advice, or information would be appreciated. I understand that it’s impossible to provide an on point answers but to the extent there are any common denominators associated with Personal Injury attorneys for midsize firms pay, for expected tasks, day-to-day expectations, etc. Searching via google or Reddit has only further confused.
Thanks, everyone (so sorry for length).
I agree with the comment above. I definitely think this sounds like a really good offer. There is so much money to be made in PI that it is not even funny. I woudl say to go for it.
