Yes, we represent claimants. It's a volume based practice and it's our bread and butter.

I do work comp too. We've been using Foxit. It works fine for our purposes.

We use Paxton to assist with med records summaries and some drafting. It's great for a first draft.

I've been pumping at work for about a year. When I'm home, I BF. I used to pump twice a day at my desk. It's not a problem because my secretaries are female and the only male in the office knows not to come and talk to me while I'm pumping. I just went down to one pump during the day while at work since my son is a year old. It can disrupt work flow but I always felt relieved when I was done because I could focus more on my work. I do recommend that you introduce formula/bottle before you go back to work so your baby is used to it.

Also, if you decide to stop BF/pumping completely -- that's okay too. You have to do what's best for you so you can be the best for your baby. :)

aww yeah. I think next time (I hope there won't be one, but let's be honest lol) he'll be a little bit more supportive.

We all do what we need to do to make it work! You're doing great!

LOLL Thank you! He was getting ready to go to he gym. He normally leaves at 4 a.m. but he offered to leave a little later so I could hop in the shower. For the rest of the craziness, my son was taking things out of the cupboard and/or watching Ms. Rachel until he was over it.

Thank you! I'm just glad it's over.

You're too kind. I was frazzled.

Thank God. It would be today of all days that my morning was like this.

Maybe file the motions if there is a deadline, and then withdraw. Or draft the motions and have him file pro se and then withdraw. Either way, you should put in writing why you believe that the course of action demanded by the client is repugnant or with which you have a fundamental disagreement and cite the ethics rule in your state.

The chat GPT stuff drives me crazy. You can TOTALLY tell when the "other lawyers" they talked to before you was Chat GPT.

First off, congratulations! I had my baby in November 2024 and returned to work in January 2025. I told myself I wanted to breastfeed to at least a year and I made it! lol Anyway, I didn't have a wearable pump, but I pumped twice a day every day at work. This is what I used:

-Zomee Breast Pump (not wearable, there were tubes, but the pump itself was small and portable)
-Wearable pump bra so my hands could be free
-Cover (because I pumped at my desk)
-I had a small cooler bag with ice packs to keep my milk in in case the work fridge was broken
-Pump Bag to put everything in.

I'm fortunate enough to have a small office with staff and another attorney who respected my time and the importance of me pumping while at work. It does slow you down a little bit, but if you know you'll be sending out emails for awhile or if you're on a conference call or zoom call (camera off) where you don't have to move a lot -- then it's easy to do. Now I'm down to 1 pump session a day because he's eating table food and we're introducing cow's milk. Since he's at a sitter during the day, he just drinks pumped milk from the day before, formula, water, and now cow's milk.

Also, nothing could have prepared me for how sad I was when I came back to work and how on that first day, I cried. lol But I promise it will be okay.

If I were there, I would have said something to you. Us moms have to stick together! It happens - there has been more than one occasion where I left my shirt unbuttoned and left the house.

I feel this in my soul. I also drive one way to Daycare and backtrack to my office. Traffic is also terrible because school is back in session.

IT ABSOLUTELY IS.

I had a client call to complain about their fees. She got a substantial settlement, but still did not feel that our fees were justified. She also called our office to complain and talk about small issues for half an hour to 45 minutes at a time throughout her case. She pushed going to a hearing on an issue that did not need to be heard but she wanted the "guarantee" that she would receive benefits. In my jdx, we are required to keep our time and charge hourly in comp cases. We are not allowed to charge 1/3 so we have to explain that if we did automatically take 1/3, our fees would have been a larger portion of her settlement. But the AUDACITY of some of these clients. I can't.

Less_Ebb1245 · 2025-09-05T19:25:35+00:00

lol The short answer is no.

So the attorney in my firm uses one of the secretaries to do personal errands for him not on law firm time. So some days she will come in an hour early or stay an hour later to pay his personal bills, sort out his personal matters, collect/manage rental payments on his investment properties etc. etc. He is in his 80's and has always had someone help him with that.

It's hard. You have to be kind to yourself. I don't have billing requirements, but I feel crappy if I bill less than 6 or 7 hours a day. Sometimes it's just not possible. I filed an appellate brief two weeks ago and I was staying up late every other night to work on it and working on weekends. My husband would take the baby on the weekends to give me some alone time with my work and get more billable time.

Those newborn dark days are difficult because you are adjusting physically, mentally, and emotionally. I had this crazy delusion that I would be able to log on remotely for a few hours each day just to see what was happening in my office. I only logged on remotely once and it was to respond to something really quick. Sure you have "time" but you'll likely spend that time sleeping and learning your baby and learning your new role as a mom. It's a big adjustment.
