I have just joined a firm a couple months ago. I am new to products liability litigation. I defended a depo today for the first time and I feel like I could have done way better. I think I did ok. The plaintiff lawyer def got flustered and angry when I objected and even said that he had a problem with my objections even though I looked him up and he is not super experienced either. How can I shake this feeling?

Were they speaking objections?

Who was the witness?

I don’t think I would say that. He is welcome to not like my objections but I’m still going to object even if she does not like it. Witness was plaintiff and he was testifying for him and leading him.

Objections were mostly leading

I'm a third year plaintiff's employment law attorney and I'm looking to move to defense, preferably still in employment law. I received an offer from a midsize firm that primarily focuses on PI with little-to-no employment law practice, so I'll have a bit of a learning curve. Offer is $90k, billable hours of 2100. Is this reasonable? I'm dead-set on leaving my current job, and this would be a $20k pay increase - which makes me believe I'm leaning towards taking it for those reasons only.
