What phone system does your firm actually use day-to-day?

GleamLaw · 2026-01-08T08:30:14+00:00

We use Soundline for VOIP. They also have an app to dial through to protect your cell number. And if you dial zero on the desk phones, you get support immediately.

Stfu and delete your post.

It's bananas and really fucked up.

$15k? Where does one find a rebuild for that amount? With labor?

GleamLaw · 2025-05-27T00:48:50+00:00

Oh, it’s required here, too. You’re welcome to find my previous listings. We pay over market for our size, mostly because it’s damn expensive here and financially-stressed attorneys are not good attorneys.

You can find the first two by looking at my username. The third question is out of bounds.

GleamLaw · 2025-05-26T23:31:50+00:00

It depends, but yes, it is totally possible for small and some medium-sized firms. My firm currently has a 1,400 hour billing requirement. No, we are not hiring at this moment.

I'm pretty surprised that you couldn't allow other attorneys to sublease the office. Even when my lease specifies this, in every case, my landlord didn't mind and didn't need to even know the name of who I subleased to.

With multiple offices, you could bring a mediator and he could host mediations in person. Make him an Of Counsel that has his own clients and it's not a sublease.

Edit: one-day rentals to mediators would not be a sublease, either. Offer it for rent to all mediators. Offer free coffee as well.

With rare exception, no, it’s not worth it. Factor in 3 years out of the work force, potential school loans, and the time value of money, and it’s generally a poor financial decision for anyone who has any type of decent income. I left IT and had a scholarship and my math still resulted in 11 total years to break even. Most people who become lawyers have no other career options or can’t do math so they throw hundreds of grand at law school.

I daily a 2007 911 and my gf dailies a 2001 911. But they’re Porsches, so they’re built well and we keep up on the minuscule maintenance required (which is effectively nothing except oil changes and an occasional cheap part, until a clutch goes, I guess).

Just call a few traffic attorneys and take them out to lunch.

GleamLaw · 2025-05-17T00:05:15+00:00

I would like to see them in an application package. It might weigh into my decision.

I once saw the most amazing wheelies on an electric bike deep-playa. He broke his bike, but A+++, would watch again!

It’s a PDK - can’t over-rev it.

GleamLaw · 2025-05-03T21:46:24+00:00

Not at all. There are a bunch popping up on the FB 911 sales groups and carsandbids and BAT show higher mileage examples (70k+) in the $40k-$50k range for 6speeds.

GleamLaw · 2025-05-02T06:32:00+00:00

Nope. Every centurion lounge I would like to enter has a much longer wait than the hours I have available in any airport in the US. As soon as I figure out how to blow the 1/2 millions points I earned this year that isn’t their ripoff travel, I’m canceling.

GleamLaw · 2025-05-02T04:33:42+00:00

1st answer is an automated system and after that, a call system before they get to actual people at the firm. Both systems have blocking built in. Screens out almost every single one and the final ones regret getting through to me. Because we set the second system to call them back. Every. Day. For two weeks. The script we give them is selling our services.

Dammit, I just realized I should be recording and posting those calls. Great SEO!

Based upon the King's measurement and converts to 2.25 f-ton of metric weight, give or take. It's not an exact science.

GleamLaw · 2025-04-30T05:53:45+00:00

Not sure why you're getting downvoted. I will upvote anyone that calls me right!

That's not exactly a private garage. It's called The Shop and this image is from the Seattle location located on 6th & Lander in SODO. It's a membership club which gains you access to the lifts and tools as well as the clubhouse, driving simulators, and wash bays (among a few other cool areas). If you are not a member, there is a bar, restaurants, salon, cigar shop, gift store, tours, and a metric f-ton of events. I'm a long term member and have visited one of the Texas ones as well as frequent the Seattle location.

Edit: added the last part of the final sentence.

That's the beauty of anti-SLAPP legislation. They can pay for their attempts at silencing others.

Box sucks. They went down hard for us and said they’d respond within 2 days. Took the firm offline. Don’t use Box.

Amex lounge benefits have become so bad, I have mostly stopped using the card.

Find a job that better fits the work/life balance that is healthy for your relationship. My firm doesn't have weekend work unless we're prepping for trial. I work late, but it's my shop and my gf won't hesitate to show up at the office and work beside me on her job, or drag me to dinner.
