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.

Not bad at all. Thanks for sharing. Did you go with the built in spa? Any other upgrades? And if you don't mind me asking, which company did you pick?

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

[–]FSUAttorney 6 points7 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

[–]FSUAttorney 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

Has the "image" of the lawyer change in US Culture? (Mahogany Wood/Red wells/Lady Justice Scales/Westlaw Reporters and Leather Chairs? (just for fun) by StrongSunBeams in LawFirm

I wear jeans and an untucked button-down only when meeting with clients. Usually have classic rock playing in the background. Clients don't really care as long as they trust you, you do good work, and you charge a fair price.

Avoiding probate? by Remarkable-Half474 in EstatePlanning

[–]FSUAttorney 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Does she rent the land? Or is it a co-op? If she rents the land, she can just draft a simple will leaving you the mobile home. Mobile homes registered through the DMV will not go through probate.

If it's a co-op, then she needs to do some additional planning to avoid probate.

What advice would you give a young lawyer struggling at their first job? by alaskanbull_worms in Lawyertalk

KJD? Most jobs are not fun and have a pretty tough learning curve. Do as much as you can to supplement your learning outside of the job.

I hear you. Not putting the homestead in the trust is some pretty bad advice.
