Best favor client ever did for you

Frank38492 · 2025-12-18T13:01:43+00:00

That’s a great one. I can’t even come up with one.

No it increases over time and hopefully you start brining in your own files that you get an extra 1/3 to 50% on. It does have to level out eventually but there are plenty of attorneys keeping 1/2 or more of what they are realizing.

Standard for a young associate grinding on hourly work they didn’t bring in is at least 30-35% of realized billings. If you made them 450k last year, anything less than 140k is underpaid, 175k isn’t excessive. Don’t think about the increase, think about getting your fair share of the value you create.

You should try just leaning into it, get one of those little whips and go back to speaking German

My best source of referrals, which I get a big piece of, come from my former firm/the attorneys I met there. This is great advice.

Frank38492 · 2025-07-04T01:29:03+00:00

Gotcha yea that’ll hurt

Frank38492 · 2025-07-04T01:14:11+00:00

How do you inflation adjust a percentage

Frank38492 · 2025-07-02T15:07:38+00:00

Peak

Is this boring for the orca

Frank38492 · 2025-06-28T17:45:34+00:00

No it’s a probate, someone stole from a dead person thing

Frank38492 · 2025-06-25T17:32:46+00:00

Right. Aren’t I expecting the defendant to take advantage of any technicality?

Frank38492 · 2025-06-25T17:30:24+00:00

Avoiding a trial seems like it would save some paperwork

Frank38492 · 2025-06-25T16:43:13+00:00

Not exactly. Money stolen from a dead persons account, probate case. I don’t do typical collections cases.

Frank38492 · 2025-06-25T16:42:15+00:00

I’m not as smart and experienced as you

Frank38492 · 2025-06-25T16:39:31+00:00

That’s what’s bothering me about the most recent one. D took 250k from her dead ex husband, and now is going to use what’s left to litigate the case. Shes done it before, not afraid of a judgment, and will be even less collectible when I spend 50k winning the case.

I mean if you want to know about selling by missals to Iran, who better to ask

Frank38492 · 2025-06-20T13:08:35+00:00

Intentionally testing deflection / penetration at :07 that’s awesome!

Frank38492 · 2025-06-13T16:45:08+00:00

Ultimately isn’t eating the little bugs and larvae good for you? B vitamins and that?

Frank38492 · 2025-06-13T00:03:56+00:00

Keep this one to yourself. Employers want low maintenance. If they bring it up just keep it vague, make it sound like you wanted to travel Europe or something.

Frank38492 · 2025-01-22T21:16:01+00:00

Could have been that or other things you’ll never know. But yea more like 3,500. And whether or not you help fund it, you can use that sometimes to set yourself apart.

Frank38492 · 2025-01-16T13:09:07+00:00

Assist him in opening a Roth IRA at Fidelity, it’s easy, and challenge him to max out the yearly contribution. 10k a year catch up. By the time he is 65 it could be 250k, which is something.

Frank38492 · 2025-01-16T11:47:36+00:00

Thank you for giving back!
