I wholeheartedly feel this is all depending on the firm you work or the areas of interest. I am bilingual and sometimes left out. My native language is Spanish, so I think in Spanish before any words come out of my mouth- making me sound slow minded at times. This is to say that it is not the language(s). Move around till you find the place for you. There will be one, I can assure you.

I get it. It’s frustrating when you're qualified and doing great work, but not knowing a second language feels like it's holding you back. Some firms do prioritize bilingual skills, especially for client-facing roles or international cases. But not all of them.

TBH, being multilingual doesn't make a difference; there is no better compensation. In fact, some employers require bilingual skills, and the salary range is lower than the regular rate. Or, Spanish is required, and compensation is between $40,000-$55,000. Oh, and all the other requirements, like paralegal certification and years of experience. I saw a bilingual legal assistant position for $17-$19 per hour. Sounds like a bad joke to me...

Hi everyone. Is it typical for the attorney to take credit for the work a paralegal does? An example: I gave some ideas about deposition questions and some observations I made (I was asked about giving suggestions) regarding a witness and the attorney mentioned that he’s the one that had these great questions/observations. Zero credit or thank you for the work I did.

Prayerfully, this transition will be a good one.

Paralegals: My firm is looking for a paralegal, and I see the job posting advertising the salary as $65-$75k, with benefits. Is this a good salary for a paralegal (Greater LA area)?
