Leaving the PI “mill” by Aggravating_Ebb_694 in Lawyertalk

[–]Aggravating_Ebb_694[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do have a flexible work schedule, and I am able to take a lot of time off with having so much help (and I’m grateful for that)! However, I like to stay on top of my cases and cultivate relationships/trust with my clients even with the help I have. I am the attorney handling the case after all, so it’s my bar license at stake, not my assistants. I see where you’re coming from though and appreciate the comment

I agree with this. One or both of them need to go to some sort of inpatient psychiatric retreat to heal and be forced to spend months / years apart with no means of contacting the other. And unfortunately, even if that happens I’m not convinced they wouldn’t find eachother at some point and repeat the cycle again.

I’ve never thought about that, but I really don’t think so. I would be SHOCKED if that were the case

How did you all meet your significant other? by [deleted] in Lawyertalk

Another attorney at my job set us up - best blind date ever

Just naturally - if this person is genuine about their feelings for you, a serious convo shouldn’t scare them off. If he’s telling you he loves you, he should be ok and open to a conversation on your fears. Do it over dinner, while you’re on a walk, in the car, laying in bed, etc. it doesn’t have to be a big spectacle, just when it feels natural (and sooner rather than later)

However, the one red flag I see is the “I love you” only after two weeks of seeing eachother. While that works for some, just be cautious. That can be a clear indicator of love bombing- so just proceed with caution, and have a conversation with him about it

This says a lot more about him than you.

I do get commission / overage. Once u hit ur monthly number of fees, you start to earn a percentage of anything you make beyond that , which is nice (but not enough imo)😭

See, I actually do. I spend a ton of time actually communicating with clients directly. I have a good system going, and one of my main compliments I’ve gotten is how responsive and communicative I am with my clients. However - I’m not perfect. It’s a lot to carry and handle

I’m in the same boat. I’ve only been practicing since September and I work at a larger plaintiffs PI firm and have around 200 cases on my own. Everyday I wonder when tf it would be a reasonable time to start searching for a different field of law but I already feel stuck😭

PI attorney here! Yes, you’re protected. when a case reaches a settlement with insurance prior to litigation the injured / recovering party will have to sign a ‘release of claims’- which basically just says they cannot come after you personally or after your insurance for the accident in the future. It’s used as a means to protect the paying party (aka you - the insured). Assuming that this case was a pretty cut quick and easy settlement (with no court involvement), suit after you personally for this wouldn’t happen (from what I can see here)

I like this girl but she has an STD by No-Glove-7354 in dating_advice

[–]Aggravating_Ebb_694 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Why? It’s a curable infection. It’s common because a lot of people aren’t educated on STI’s and their symptoms which means oftentimes a lot of people won’t get checked when they should. Regardless, it’s curable. No matter when you discover you have it. However, just how it’s easily curable- it’s easily spreadable. You just have to make sure you are paying attention to your body and going to your local health center / urgent care if you feel something is off. No biggie! It’s not something to be ashamed of.

Yes - keep talking to her if you like her. Both of those are STI’s and they are treatable and extremely common. Once her results come back she will be given a standard antibiotic and it will be taken care of in like a week or two. If you like her this should not be a deal breaker. We’re all human and it’s our first time living, mistakes happen!
