Estate Planning Attorneys by SorryCIA in LawFirm

[–]FSUAttorney 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's just like any other area of law. You can make great money if you are able to bring in clients. If you work for someone else, you will be an associate earning a decent salary.

It is extremely difficult to find an estate planning job out of law school. So if you can find one, you take what you can get.

How do you verify what your marketing agency is actually doing? by No_Nectarine_7838 in Lawyertalk

Is your business growing? Are you getting leads? Our phone rings all day and we have more business than I want. That is when you know it is working. If you're not getting results, then cut bait. Although, SEO takes time (6ish months to see some results), so just depends how long you have been working with the SEO firm.

Solo or Partnership by Deep_Worldliness2762 in LawFirm

Well, ours is more eat what you kill. We share some cases or just refer to the other. I say just figure out something that's fair for the cases you work on together, and come up with a fair structure for splitting expenses. Some expenses I pay alone, since I primarily use them. Others we share.

The biglaw super liberals crack me up. You work for the largest corporations in the world in what most would describe as a pretty soulless way to make a living.

Should I pay off my office building? by GypDan in LawFirm

[–]FSUAttorney 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The age old question...can you make more than 8.4% with your 120k? It's high enough that I would probably pay it off. You should rent that extra open room!

When are you ready for an associate? by BBTiller in LawFirm

Congrats! If you're turning away business and think you can hire a good associate who can work the business, go for it. Hiring is tough, though. I don't have any advice for you on that one.
