I have a 30 year lawyer who has been with our firm for 20 years. Very loyal, clients generally like him but doesn’t want to go to trial and can’t do legal research. Will go through mediation but then I need to bring in outside counsel to try cases. What is a reasonable salary for someone like that? Knew when hired that he would not become a partner but has stayed anyway. This is a small firm in a midsized city in CA.

Got an offer at a great company. Ive done this job before but moved away from it because it burnt me out because of the people and it scarred me. I have found out i have ptsd from it and am scared to start the new one. Been working on ptsd thru therapy. I know its a great firm and a great opportunity but my ptsd is bad. Another company last wk reached out same field diff role more chill and behind the scenes and i cant help but think about the easy way out over the challenge and better future.

I currently work at a small PI firm in Atlanta were EVERYTHING is settled presuit. If we’re unable to settle, then it’s referred to another firm for litigation.
