So an MD at EY said he would put me into the referral database but got a message saying I was already in there. Someone off of Fishbowl put me in there and he wants to know their name. WHAT DO I SAY

I’m asking out of genuine curiosity - why do law firms promote people who have 0 leadership and management skills to partner? I know people who have been promoted to partner who have for a fact been given poor reviews bc they are egregious managers — some are not even respected by juniors because they also don’t have much substantive knowledge. Is it just politics?

What do you think is a reasonable % of revenue to ask for from a billable rate? I work part time (~5 hours / week) for a company where they bill $250 and hour for mine time. I’d assume my costs as an employee are minimal. What do you think would be an appropriate hourly rate?

Anyone have thoughts on what questions the Director of Sales and Chief Security Officer will ask during an in-house counsel interview?

What metrics do you think are most important to measure for success of a Plaintiff’s firm? Obviously revenue, but what else is at the top of the list for you?

What’s your average case load and type of case? Firm wants around 75-100. Basic car wrecks.

I’m an associate attorney at a smallish personal injury firm. Total firm has 12 attorneys, and my office has 2 attorneys, including myself. My office is currently handling roughly 145 cases between the two of us. I’m just wondering if this is a normal caseload for the field. We have roughly 10 trials set for next year. Some are in back to back weeks. Thoughts?

Anyone have insight regarding pre-suit attorney base salaries at Morgan & Morgan?

As a new PI attorney I am having trouble pushing the ball forward on my cases. Not sure what the next step to take would be sometimes. Partners are not much help. Any resources out there that would help?

What's a case you're really proud of having been able to help with? Could use some positive inspo today.

Hi all, sorry to go off topic. Is anyone practicing PI law in New Hampshire? I'm currently practicing in SE PA and also NJ, but thinking about moving up to NH. Wondering how the industry is there.

Any Plaintiff 🐠 here use a record request service instead of doing it yourselves? (I’m based in Chicago, if that matters).

Question: ID, auto accident case, uncooperative client. I have tried multiple phone calls, texts, letters, emails, and sent an investigator out. I can’t get the client to respond / cooperate. I have discovery due and his depo coming up. What else can I do to try to reach him?

Do any NYC pi atty’s need some remote help? I have ten yrs experience running a busy firm in Brooklyn but moved to sunny FL and have extra time (I highly recommend fleeing NY for anyone considering it).
I handled an active caseload of 500, predominantly MVA’s but also city slip/trip and fall cases.

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. This whole process seems very atypical to me and the attorneys rarely touch a file until the first liability offer is received. The paralegals handle everything from intake to drafting the demands. The attorney briefly skims (does NOT read) the demand packages and signs. Is this ethical?? Anyone else work at a firm that is run this way??

Should a company go out of business if it hurts consumers? 3M is facing lawsuits for their defective ear plugs, surgical blankets, firefighter foam, PFAs, etc. Someone just got $77.5 million on 1 earplug case and there are about 270,000 military personnel with tinnitus and hearing loss. At least 20,000 people who have had multiple surgeries from their blankets and some who have had limbs amputated, who knows how many have had cancer, etc from chemicals made by 3M. 3M market cap is 87 billion

Spent a long time working for a reputable insurance defense firm before switching to plaintiff PI. Recently let go from plaintiff PI firm due to pandemic financial cutbacks. Consider myself to be a good lawyer with a small network of good connections. Not interested in going back to insurance defense. Thoughts on going solo? Live in greater LA area.

Anyone know what the pay is like at Wingate, Russotti, Shapiro?

NY specific question: my last firm paid for case tracking through elaw. I’m joining a new firm with active matters but no elaw account. I see that ecourts has an “etrack” feature. Do I need elaw? Or can I get appearance notifications etc automatically through ecourts? Is there anything that elaw does that ecourts does not? Thank you!

New to PI. I filed suit and know policy limits ($500k). I want $1M but I have to live in reality. Insurance company wants to know if I have a demand. Is there any reason why I’d demand more than the policy limits?

How difficult is it to start your own PI firm? I'm sure there are countless lawyers that start their own firm, fail, and go back to working for someone else. But most PI lawyers I know were able to make it on their own.

Starting my own firm and was wondering what bank is the best for iolta? Also any affordable software, resources, etc that you recommend or don’t recommend for the beginning? Thank you!

I am looking into starting my own firm with one other attorney. I have never been a partner or solo so I am trying to figure out best practices right now. I would appreciate any advice on starting up, things to avoid, preferred software, which gods to pray to, etc. The goal is to be virtual and to primarily do PI with a small amount of business services (my current book is mostly business litigation/contacts/outside counsel work).

Thank you all in advance! This is pretty daunting.

For Plaintiff PI Lawyers, what is your "pitch" when you speak a potential new client who is looking for an accident attorney? Especially if you're a younger attorney, who can't make the "I have over 20-30 years of experience, have seen it all, won X number of cases and recovered Y amount of compensation for my clients" pitch. I explain the process, say that my firm has an amazing team, that I will keep them updated every step of the way. Is there anything else I could say to land the client?
