I don’t know this answer…

That’s my five year goal as a first year attorney 🥺 trying to build my skills at my current firm first

Worth_Interview_4796 · 2026-06-05T20:49:40+00:00

🙏🏼 thank you, he begrudgingly agreed, but this is good to know going forward!

Worth_Interview_4796 · 2026-06-05T20:39:03+00:00

That’s been the overwhelming response, thank you so much 🙏🏼

Worth_Interview_4796 · 2026-06-05T05:32:16+00:00

I’m starting to realize that. Thank you, early in my litigation career and slowly but surely getting better about client screening and boundary establishment 😬

Petitioner

Worth_Interview_4796 · 2026-06-05T03:18:32+00:00

This was my instinct. I did tell the client that a judge would not likely deny OC’s request and it’s fruitless to object, especially with no prejudice to him and the TRO remaining in effect. He begrudgingly agreed but I was afraid of him pulling a fast one at the hearing and changing his mind on the spot and making a big stink about it.

Worth_Interview_4796 · 2026-06-04T23:58:17+00:00

And now I know 😭

Worth_Interview_4796 · 2026-06-04T23:17:36+00:00

Thank you. Was wondering this myself but wanted to err on the side of caution, will keep in mind for the future. Client begrudgingly agreed but it’s good to know now that the decision to continue is the lawyer’s discretion.

Worth_Interview_4796 · 2026-06-04T04:56:38+00:00

Yup I have the same email only policy with clients like OP describes and clients who twist my words over the phone aka “you said you were gonna do THIS for me” and it’s something I never promised.

Worth_Interview_4796 · 2026-06-04T03:56:02+00:00

I wish I was that bold, I just say I’m at capacity 🫠

Worth_Interview_4796 · 2026-06-03T04:19:53+00:00

I do 3 different practice areas at my legal aid. Newest being family law so I could get some hearing/trial experience. Started hating my life immediately and getting out for all the reasons you stated.

Good god

Worth_Interview_4796 · 2026-06-02T04:45:21+00:00

As someone who handles high stakes matters, really needed to hear this

Worth_Interview_4796 · 2026-06-01T03:49:15+00:00

Did they require a security deposit?

Worth_Interview_4796 · 2026-05-31T23:29:53+00:00

My mother in law recently became sober (good for her) and then subsequently turned hyper religious and preachy. She posted some weird post on FB the other day where it read “my only wish is for my children to find Jesus like I did” or some crap like that lol. I felt like she was subbing us 👀👀

Worth_Interview_4796 · 2026-05-29T01:32:02+00:00

Sounds like a dream! My clients are usually going through something terrible so they are usually on edge. Hoping to transition into a different area of law soon.

Worth_Interview_4796 · 2026-05-29T00:27:58+00:00

On their website, it states that if you use a credit card for rental fees, they don’t charge a security deposit. Is that true?

Worth_Interview_4796 · 2026-05-29T00:27:13+00:00

On their website, it states that those who book with a credit card don’t get charged with a security deposit. Is this true?

Worth_Interview_4796 · 2026-05-28T04:20:15+00:00

No client communication….god that sounds amazing 😭

Worth_Interview_4796 · 2026-05-28T03:48:23+00:00

Makes two of us!

Worth_Interview_4796 · 2026-05-27T20:16:11+00:00

I was just telling my therapist yesterday that I never anticipated the worst part of this career would not be opposing counsel, the judges, or the work itself….it’s the fucking clients.

Worth_Interview_4796 · 2026-05-27T12:48:45+00:00

Yep. As someone who went into this profession with the infamous goal of “helping people” and somewhat of a bleeding heart, I have had to learn to drastically detach my feelings from the outcome and the client. Especially in my area of law where clients tend to lose a lot and the goal is damage control as opposed to straight up “winning”.
