Tips and tricks for brand new attorney (just passed bar) starting out in ID

Any guys have a good recommendation for a barber in the city? Seems like most of the places downtown are upwards of $40. Just looking for a homie who does a good job. Happy to pay that much if they’re solid, but will be bothered if they’re not.

Any local/boutique consulting firm in the northern Virginia area? (specifically Salesforce)

Can't really share this with anyone else, so thank you fellow fish for indulging. 3 years in, finally at a point where I can comfortably work 40 hours a week the last quarter+, and still be a trusted team member and major contributor. Normal tasks and collaborations now take me a fraction of the time compared to my first couple years / others on the team. 6 YOE and my TC has also gone up a lot from low 200s last year to high 200s this year. Hope to keep this optimal mix of WLB & progression 🙏

Any other Registered Dietitians here? I’m just curious if any other Lead RDs could share their salary. I feel like I’m being underpaid, but I’m not sure. Thanks in advance!

Hey guys,

How is Yum! Brands? Is it like a startup?

They have started a new division - digital and tech.

Just joined this bowl and disappointed to find 80% of the posts are just people too lazy to read their employee handbook... I’m here to ask, any firms offers MilkStork as a benefit.

Any international senior creatives who are on O1 visa ? Need some assistance please.

Breaking Bad v. GOT?

Have an interesting scenario. Holiday party season is approaching. At one of our parties (during working hours) there is an optional “talent show.” Employees can win door prizes. We have an entry that is a religious song - like one you would sing in church. I assume we need to let this employee perform this - or we are setting ourselves up for trouble. Likewise, if we permit this song, I assume we cannot compel attendance to the talent show. The talent show is part of a lunch thing.

Anyone else noticing carriers becoming even more of a pain in the ass lately?

I just started working in ID and Workers Comp. and have no substantial work experience in either. The closest experience I have is some personal injury work. Any advice transitioning into this area of law and how I can become better acquainted with this area of law, mainly procedural stuff? Thanks in advance!

What is the consensus on whether to mention in depo reports to a client that a Plaintiff or witness is attractive? I know its inappropriate, but we can't deny that kind of thing matters to jurors and should be part of any consideration of settlement, right?

PLC just hit me with a MTC and sanctions because an insured took too long to give me depo dates while he underwent cancer treatment. This is after agreeing to extend discovery by two months. Should I oppose this thing or line my cats litter box?

Anyone ever have to go to Small Claims Court? We just got assigned a case where a Plaintiff is disagreeing with the insurance company’s repair estimate for their vehicle from a fender bender.

What’s a good salary to expect doing workers comp defense in Florida?

I work at a small Midwest ID firm doing mostly MVAs for an Insurance Carrier. Currently have a case where where plaintiff is claiming extensive lost wages from missing tips from working as a bartender/waitress. Place of employment is a strip club, I got a feeling she’s a dancer not a bartender or waitress. But it got me wondering has anyone ran into someone claiming lost wages or revenue from being an OF creator and not being able to crate content due to injury?

Anyone have any suggestions for getting a client to cooperate with discovery. We were retained by a insurance company for their insured and he has not returned emails or phone calls in about 4 weeks. Plaintiff’s counsel wants a settlement offer, and discovery responses or they’re gonna file a motion to compel. The company has been made aware of the insured’s noncooperation but they have tell us they’re pulling coverage for us to withdraw.

What YOE should I expect before I start doing depositions?
