Depends on your settlement commission percentage. I’d say anywhere from 50-75k on top of 5-10% fee for cases you settle.

Depends on your city too... Different expectations in say Denver as opposed to San Francisco or Chicago.

Are you getting commission? Also, what market? But if you are not getting commission and it is in a high COL market then I’d say $80-$85k, from what I’ve seen anyway.

No commission but above 85k in salary + benefits

Southeast — high base no commission — wasn’t sure if that was reasonable

I’m a PI attorney in the Southeast. You will never make any real money in the PI industry if you don’t get a % of commissions.

I received a job offer from a PI firm (MVA and tractor trailer cases) in Houston, Texas; the bonus proposed was 2.5% of attorney’s fees for any cases settled each quarter. We are assigned 50 cases a quarter and the top attorney clears $25K each quarter. This is my first time working at a PI firm. Can anyone share any guidance? Is 2.5% industry standard? Is it realistic to settle/resolve that many cases? I am trying to learn more about this niche before I counter-offer and attempt to negotiate.
