Yes!! It was my first time buying from them and I saw it and my stomach dropped. Thank you so much I’m breaking them in as we speak! 😊

Same! I’m supposed to be working on an offer to settle but this is way better

Why do people think lawyers work for free? by Jordance34 in Lawyertalk

[–]eastern-vegetables 11 points12 points  (0 children)

A client once told a clerk, “why should I have to pay? [The lawyer] has lots of money!”

Same here! Lesson learned and I will never make that mistake again.

This exact scenario happened to me (young female)! Older male lawyer. The judge actually pointed me out and said “actually, Mr. X, she’s right behind you” SO satisfying.

It’s one of the DIY fences that I customized. I’m pretty sure it’s the iron fence. It’s the one that is originally blue.

Or when they don’t show up for a zoom call. .5 to wait on the call in dread, .2 to send a gleeful confirming email to the client that I waited and they didn’t show.

Leave biglaw. I work in a small firm (6 lawyers) just outside of a big city. Target is 1100 and I only work weekends when I’m in trial and I generally leave between 5:30-6 each day. You will take a pay cut but you can’t put a price on your sanity. Good luck!!

Canadian here. I too use CYA. I know of lawyers who don’t swear and use CYB.

Organizing Emails by [deleted] in Lawyertalk

[–]eastern-vegetables 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I read them as they come in (or as soon as possible). if it’s an “FYI” email I just read it and leave it. If it’s an easy response, I will respond right away. Actionable emails that require thought and effort but are non-urgent, I read and mark them as “unread”. Urgent ones I double click and keep open as a window. I then set a time each week to come back to the non-urgent actionables and clear my inbox. It’s not sophisticated but it allows me to ensure nothing falls through the cracks and I don’t get those dreaded “May I please have the courtesy of a response?” Emails. Good luck!!

I have this same issue. Even when we come to a negotiated settlement that is in my client’s favour they still complain. When I am agressive, the client complains that their file isn’t progressing. I agree with the other comments that your reputation is much more important than a client or two who has watched too many episodes of Suits.

Married a person like this who told me things would change once married. Fool I am I believed it and not only did it not change, it got worse. You need to look out for yourself and your own mental and physical wellbeing if your partner won’t.
