What is it like working as a foreclosure attorney? I have been looking for a change from my current post for a while. Have done mostly personal injury work with some estate planning, but I am interviewing with a firm looking to take on someone earlier on in their career to train them up in the area of foreclosure. I am intrigued by the position because it would be more transactional, and I prefer that side to the litigation side, but I was just wondering if anyone could share their experience

I realized I've been a dummy for getting a job at a creative agency and not working on my portfolio. Most of the projects I've taken on, I've done so as a way to support others without taking much credit for it. Now, a better opportunity came along and I don't have anything to show for my talent as a designer. ALWAYS take credit for what you do, even if it's not your project to begin with.

I'm in a litigation, about 9 months in. Is it normal that I spend majority of my time making bundles for my partners (printing, binding, moving docs in a different order whenever there are new documents or he wants to add stuff) reviewing documents and making tables (e.g. dates, which documents are from where), and the only legal work is like notices of admission, list of documents, the occasional research? I'm so bored and I want to quit but I don't know if I have unrealistic expectations.

I’m not really sure that anyone at the firm realizes this is happening.
