Is it normal to have mountains (I mean mountains) of paper lying around because the attorney is technologically illiterate ? I’m talking about redundant and useless papers. I truly think it is a fire hazard and safety/privacy issue the amount of paper and boxes lying around in the office, but that could be my OCD and anxiety talking.

No not normal and also if those are confidential papers it’s also a confidentiality issue

Those papers should be organized and filed away

There is absolutely no space to file it in office; one partner has files completely filling out each cabinet space. They don’t want to use a storage company (iron mountain)

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.
