Really depends on your skills, area you've been practicing in etc. Are you a highly desirable transactional lawyer? Or are you a generalist family law person? No shade to either but totally different market comps.

I would say more like $160. My old mid-size firm started at $140s 10 years ago.

Midlaw firms vary WILDLY in comp.

Negotiating a settlement. I’m at $10k, opposing counsel is at $20k. My client won’t go higher than $15k. OC has come down to 17.5k and says his client won’t budge from that. Do I offer 12.5k so we can hopefully meet in the middle at 15k? Is that how the settlement game is played? Seems dumb we can’t just say let’s meet in the middle now and be done with this. (I’m a first year, first time negotiating a settlement on my own and I don’t want to screw this up!)
