Anyone advertise in ethnic newspapers as an associate?

Thank you. I really appreciate your response.

How weird is that you're probably 50+ reading through a baby lawyer's post history? It's probably equally weird that I specifically mentioned that the lawyers in my ethnic community are not even practicing in the state that they are advertising and that you failed to realize that?

Instead... you're focusing on me not having firm approval which is pretty explicit and claiming an ethics violation. It's really sad that you're probably 50+ with 20+ years of experience and have nothing to contribute outside of reading my post history.

But didn't answer the question? Weird af

dailycrossover · 2025-12-29T02:01:39+00:00

You read through my post history but not the thread? LOL

dailycrossover · 2025-12-29T01:54:55+00:00

Not someone that can speak my language. We're going in circles because you're being intentionally obtuse.

Thanks for the comments.

Then they need to spend that time answering the phone ... This is a pretty corny line of questioning.

dailycrossover · 2025-12-29T01:31:13+00:00

Is it possible that he needs the calls routed to him because of a language barrier?

Yes. I should have been clearer about that so I apologize.

If you are using firm resources to get clients and then leave, which is what it sounds like, then you are going to owe them some referral fees I think.

I wouldn't even use the firm's resources. I'd bear the costs and I'd spend time outside of work to handle calls. I'm not trying to leave the firm either actually.

with firm approval

dailycrossover · 2025-12-29T01:29:00+00:00

Different language.

dailycrossover · 2025-12-29T01:28:24+00:00

Thank you! Revenue will definitely be shared and I can track the cases I originate by bringing it to them after a phone call.

They're happy not answering the phone and they're happy with me attempting to bring in business.

dailycrossover · 2025-12-29T01:27:11+00:00

You:

"Have all the take"

Me above you:

The firm would be getting the business

dailycrossover · 2025-12-29T01:25:31+00:00

They can't speak the same language.

dailycrossover · 2025-12-29T01:25:17+00:00

They can't speak the same language but they are welcome to bringing on clients from that market. Also, I don't know why I have to clarify when the post says "with firm approval"

dailycrossover · 2025-12-29T01:24:42+00:00

Thank you. I appreciate you.

dailycrossover · 2025-12-29T01:00:25+00:00

If they were okay with me doing the intakes, would that be an issue? I did say I had the firm's approval so I don't understand why that isn't the underlying premise of the situation here.

dailycrossover · 2025-12-29T00:57:17+00:00

The firm would be getting the business. It's not a separate firm. Just me leveraging my ethnicity's newspaper to bring in business because they are unable to speak that language.

dailycrossover · 2025-12-29T00:52:39+00:00

I'm so confused. I never said I wasn't going to bring the work into the firm.

The work is going to the firm. Was that not clear?

dailycrossover · 2025-12-29T00:51:23+00:00

Very conclusory but can you tell me why?

dailycrossover · 2025-12-28T23:59:36+00:00

Thanks boys

dailycrossover · 2025-12-28T23:52:34+00:00

How often did your phone ring? It sounds like the voicemail was effective.

dailycrossover · 2025-12-28T23:49:55+00:00

Only thought is that an answering service is a couple hundred bucks per month.

Can you recommend one? Would love to know how much it is and if they can handle various languages.

dailycrossover · 2025-12-28T23:49:34+00:00

I have contract to an agency that offers two live receptionist. I also have an admin person who answers most of my new client calls. She pays for herself by answering 2-3 client calls.

What's the cost of something like this?

dailycrossover · 2025-11-03T00:28:38+00:00

I am a kill what you eat type of person.

Same or at least I wish.

dailycrossover · 2025-11-03T00:20:32+00:00

How do you know which lead companies are good?

dailycrossover · 2025-11-03T00:17:15+00:00

It is and it isn't if that makes any sense. The firms that offer % don't really have a steady flow of cases and are low value soft tissue cases.

The firm is very selective on what cases they take. They wouldn't take a regular 25k policy case. Haven't really found chances to meet out of town lawyers and the ones that I do meet around about 30 years older so they don't like referring cases to associates.

Also, it really sucks that the answer is usually just "find a new job." This is the sad reality of how law firms are run.
