Having gone against Morgan and Morgan… their workload is so heavy that one of the associates commenced a case against my client who was 5 miles from the place of incident and totally not involved. Nearly got sanctions awarded and the attorney was too busy to pick up the phone to talk with me so I could tell her before I made my motion what was going on as a courtesy.

Have you heard…that they’re the biggest personal injury firm on EARTH?! At least that’s what the TV says every 20-30 minutes 🤷🏽‍♂️

The base pay is typically $65k-$75k, then you earn a % of recoveries. They sign up cases and you work them. You do not decide what cases get assigned to you. You also can't decide what to reject. Any case with value above $50k has to be submitted to a "big case committee" to determine your settlement value. Or they may tell you to try the case no matter what. There is not a lot of leeway in how you work the cases up, but some can make high six figures. It's extremely high volume though...

I was hired with the expectation of quarterly bonuses based on merit. Found out that bonuses are paid from your supervising attorney’s paycheck, not the company. And bonuses are based on money collected only, no other criteria.

I would never work at a place like this. Known to be a sweatshop, I suppose it's a great place to pick up experience, then run for the hill.
Another "big secret" that's been public knowledge for a while: It is FIRM POLICY to deny any extensions for any reason whatsoever. Deviation from this policy is possible grounds for dismissal.
Sorry M&M, but you've got some blabber mouths.

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.

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??
