About $65K a year, in insurance defense litigation for almost 20 years in the Midwest US. Very small firm now. I was making closer to $100K at big law a few years ago but took the pay cut to have some of my life back.

Received an offer for 85k in corporate big law mid-level. It was my asking price on the application. After reading this, should I ask to increase to 90K ? Would that be ethical? I live in a big city. Annual base salary increases by 3%. Please help!

Hi everyone. Is it typical for the attorney to take credit for the work a paralegal does? An example: I gave some ideas about deposition questions and some observations I made (I was asked about giving suggestions) regarding a witness and the attorney mentioned that he’s the one that had these great questions/observations. Zero credit or thank you for the work I did.
