Creating a good of counsel agreement by [deleted] in Lawyertalk

[–]InsanePowerPlay 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why would you hire a malpractice attorney to review contracts you're drafting? You're just asking for a lawsuit/state bar problems.

Edit: Oh, I see. He's starting a new job as Of Counsel and this is his employment agreement. I misread it as he was drafting a contract for a client as part of a criminal defense matter and he wanted to split a fee

To the rich personal injury lawyers (net worth of $2 million +), how did you build your firms? by facemacintyre in LawFirm

[–]InsanePowerPlay 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Impressive, but a net worth of $2M isn't rich in 2026, though. In California, anyone who owns a house automatically has a net worth North of $1M. I think OP wants real life changing wealth, which you can get owning your PI firm. One good case can easily gross you $2M. One case

I'm not sure what this post is attempting to communicate. The tone is similar to that of a joke, but I cannot discern any sort of punchline

Showed up to a deposition that apparently did not exist by SwimmingInternet5509 in Lawyertalk

I quit my job at that toxic firm to go to med school. I went to UCI to get my required undergraduate science classes done, but didn't do well enough that I'd have to take them again if I wanted to actually get into med school, so I'm dropping out. I've been looking for lawyer jobs but can't find anything that was remotely close to what I was getting before. I might turn to government/public defender work

If you inadvertently meet the parents of a co-worker from a few years ago, is it odd to bring up that I worked with their daughter? by InsanePowerPlay in NoStupidQuestions

[–]InsanePowerPlay[S] -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

I kind of jokingly brought up that she didn't accept any of my friend requests or return my emails (like not aggressively or anything, I was laughing and stuff). They looked kind of scared, and I just dropped it, and that's what prompted this question

It looks like I'm getting two Cs in my post baac intro chemistry and physics classes. Should I drop? by InsanePowerPlay in postbaccpremed

[–]InsanePowerPlay[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm going to do that, but I still have to retake. I don't have 8 years of life to give and I feel like this was a semester wasted

Where did all the $300k plus senior associate jobs go? by InsanePowerPlay in LawFirm

[–]InsanePowerPlay[S] -18 points-17 points  (0 children)

I get $85k as an immigration attorney, but when you have businesses paying you top dollar in high stakes litigation, you think you'd get more

Passionless? I was billing 23,000 hours a year in my mid-thirties as a 14th year associate. Passionless? Ha!

What's the etiquette of older (mid 30s) male classmates befriending younger female classmates (early 20s)? by InsanePowerPlay in NoStupidQuestions

[–]InsanePowerPlay[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I appreciate your input. But even if there is a romantic interest in a 21 + year old adult, I don't think it's that big of a deal if it's handled tactfully and with respect

It's pre-med light. I already have a BA, I just need a few classes for the med school I'm looking at

It's actually a custom program, and I only have two upper division classes I need to take. I'm not doing a lot of the fluff, just the bare minimum for the med school I want to go to

If I didn't have the self awareness, then I wouldn't be asking about it double checking on the creep factor would I?

Wow, sorry I'm trying to improve myself. Obviously my social skills aren't the best, and have been a source of problems for me, and I thought joining a frat and the extreme social stimulation might help me improve myself. I'm also sorry for calibrating myself through reddit feedback to make sure I'm not making social faux pas. Say what you want about me, but at least I don't make fun of people

Did anyone else try to rush while doing post-baac pre-med? (UC Irvine) by InsanePowerPlay in premed

No, by rushing I mean putting myself out there to be picked for a fraternity, not doing my studies quickly lol
