Seriously wondering if I'm underpaid & if my firm's bonus structure is legit. About me: 3rd year associate, NJ market, small firm (under 5 attorneys). Started lower but now at $100 plus 15% collected originations. Lots of strings on when I get the bonus, chief among them that payout is only at the end of the representation and if the client's account is at least 90% paid. Good, bad? Please include your market with any response. Thanks!

It’s ok. My 3rd year in family law made 100k before leaving in LA area.

Not bad, at least you have a guaranteed salary. It is not unusual to see just a percentage of collected revenues in a smaller family law firm.

Hello Fam Law attys!

I am in my second year as a attorney, I was a FL paralegal before law school and would eventually like to end up there again. I am in a very small rural area, pretty much only solos, and no FL solos appear to be hiring/expanding at this time.

Do you think experience as a DA or PD would be valuable, with my eye toward a future in FL? Both for the skills gained, and/or as a resume piece?

TY!

My client wants both parties to list assets & liabilities as an exhibit to their prenup without values, but waive the right to know the actual valuation of those in the prenup itself. My initial thought is this is a terrible idea & would probably make the prenup easily voidable since a main requirement for a prenup is for both to understand the nature and value of the other’s assets. I will research in my jurisdiction to confirm, but has anyone ever heard of/done this? Thoughts?
