I’m an associate attorney at a 25> property damage law firm. We are Plaintiffs’ attorneys. I got barred in 2022 and have been working here for 1 yr/6 mo+. My salary is now at 90k + bonus commissions from settled cases (5% after all costs are deducted). Started at 75k. I wanted the experience. I now have over 150 cases to look over not including prelit matters. They’re now requiring me to be federally barred in all districts. I know I’m being underpaid. Just don’t know by how much.

I know that one of the largest central Florida PL first party property firm starts associates at $50k. Then they switch you to pure commission, which is between 10-25%, depending on how much you get fu$ked

Started at 100k first year out of school, premise liability

Defense. Didn’t go to top 50 school, graduated middle of class

$120k for premise liability and first-party property defense. When I left the firm I was at 140k. The firm did not focus on insurance work.

Barred in 2021.

You are a little underpaid but not by much. I was a 5th yr at k&p doing first party and no associates got paid more than $110k with 5-10% commissions. Real question is what are you netting the firm? If your bonus + salary isnt at least 25-33% of the net number theres a problem and you ought to ask the partner for a meeting. I did this after i never the firm 1.2m….immediately went from 85k to 105k and 10% instead of 5%. Game changer. But property laws changes and most of my clients were roofers so i bailed cause nobody was settling cases with CMR or APEX involved.
