No. Just switch firms

Yeah. I did some transactional work before comp. Not for me. I prefer the litigation.

I’m 100% wfh. Some coworkers are in the office and others do hybrid. As long as you make your minimums and clients don’t complain, my bosses don’t care. They’re slowly starting to make some hearings in person in CA, not looking forward for 6 hour drives to hearings.

Attorneys fees in CA are capped at 15%. But that doesn’t affect defense work. It’s only applicant attorney’s fees that are capped. most applicant attorneys carry a caseload of 100-200 files (depending on staff support)
