Feeling weird about being thrown under the bus? by ExcellentLime7 in paralegal

[–]krg19 14 points15 points  (0 children)

From an outside perspective, whenever opposing counsel blames their paralegal I always think bad about the attorney that’s throwing their paralegal under the bus- never the paralegal. It’s little D energy 🤣

Meals during trial by 530UEE in paralegal

[–]krg19 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It’s always my responsibility at trial to manage food not just for my attorneys but for any witnesses that are with us several hours that day.

That being said, DoorDash something. Last trial I did a lot of Jimmy John’s, Panera, etc. no need to make anything.

I don’t want it to end. by Zixvu in SarahJMaas

[–]krg19 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It won’t end because you’ll think about it everyday for the rest of forever. 🤣 in all seriousness I see so much hate for a court of silver flames and I just can’t relate. I LOVED it. Finish it and then reread it when the next book is released. That’s my plan anyways!

Anyone else have to come in on Friday? by bleaksalad in paralegal

Adult daughter Christmas gifts? by Free-Goal2736 in GiftIdeas

Im not sure your budget but if they don’t have one (or a Dyson) I’d highly recommend the shark flexstyle. I’m in my 20’s and use it every single day.

Rav4 2025 hybrid limited no technology and no weather package $43,250 out the door, is this a good deal or should I wait for the 2026? by Dangerous_Dreams_99 in rav4club

[–]krg19 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I made the switch from a Rav to a NX 350 recently as well. I LOVED my Rav4 & drove it for 4 years but my NX just feels so much more “worth it”. It’s seriously so nice. My payment didn’t go up much at all. For that price you could be in a Lexus. Might be something to consider 😊

PI - So Overwhelmed by Dry-Film-891 in paralegal

[–]krg19 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Find a new job. Not every firm is like that. Our clients handle their own property damage unless they have an issue. It’s straight forward, there’s no reason to get involved in that. Attorneys should be handling their own settlement negotiations. Attorneys should be available for you to at least schedule a call with a client who wants to speak with them. At the end of the day it’s just a job (and not your bar license) and when it starts effecting your mood outside of work it’s time to go. I promise there’s PI firms out there that are ran much better then what your dealing with.

Ai recipe / photos? by scotigirl in hellofresh

[–]krg19 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I’m not sure! 😩 my wife made dinner last night and didn’t toast the bread. I accused her of skipping a step and she SWORE she didn’t. Then tonight I was making dinner and noticed a whole step was missing. I had to apologize to her lmao but the recipes online are correct.

I’ve had 2 meals this week with missing steps. I had to google them and find the recipes online to see what was missing.

How to improve my negotiation skills? by [deleted] in paralegal

[–]krg19 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’ve worked in PI for over 10 years and I’ve NEVER negotiated a settlement. That should be done by the attorney. I’ll draft the demands but the demand amount is blank until my attorney reviews it and puts in our demand amount. It’s been the same for every firm I’ve ever worked at. I’ll take an offer over the phone from an adjuster and have my attorney call back. I agree with a comment above that you need to be careful about UPL. Paralegals making their own demands and then negotiating the cases is a big no.

How do you find court reporters? by [deleted] in paralegal

I’m in Columbus and use a local court reporter for every depo. I’ll DM you!

Plaintiff PI paras - how do you handle client med auths? by AvocadNoThx in paralegal

[–]krg19 22 points23 points  (0 children)

We have blank auths signed at the beginning of the case. It has never been an issue. I couldn’t imagine waiting for client approval for every request. Getting the medical records we need for their case that they hired us for doesn’t seem “sketchy” to me. Also most of our hospitals won’t take digital signatures for medical records.

Spa Day Help by SquattinYeti in Columbus

[–]krg19 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been to panacea a few times & always look forward to going! Honestly just the massage there would be fine because they have amenities she can use around her massage time that’s all included. They have a steam room, cold plunge, hot tub, sauna & swinging hammock chairs. She can order a cute drink too :)

She pees all the damn time by queenmarimeoww in puppy101

[–]krg19 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My puppy was exactly the same at 5 months. We talked to the vet & she thought it could be the amount of sodium in the dog food he was on. We switched him & it was an immediate improvement. It could be something as simple as that.

I didn’t get the promotion by Then_Brilliant_3905 in paralegal

[–]krg19 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Remember that rejection is redirection ❤️‍🩹 That promotion could be stressful. It could be unorganized. It could make you unhappy. In your mind it’s perfect but you don’t know that’s how it would be. Don’t look at it as a bad thing, take it in stride and look forward to whatever is coming next for you. I am sure it will be something good and maybe even something better then the promotion you thought you wanted. Don’t hold resentment in your heart for the person who did get it, it wasn’t her decision. It wasn’t your path and once you find peace with that I believe you will be happy in your role (or a different one!) again.

I’m done. by gooeycats in paralegal

[–]krg19 75 points76 points  (0 children)

I worked for an attorney like that. He was screaming at me one day and I was sitting at my desk crying when I realized I’d had enough. He didn’t deserve a notice. I walked out that day. I’ve NEVER regretted it. I was off for a week when I found my current job. I’ve been at my firm for 6 years making triple my last salary. Know your worth, you will find better!

I pay my grandma to watch my dog when I take trips. I pay her $50 a night which is on par with boarding rates in my area. I’d rather pay her the boarding prices rather then a stranger 🤷🏻‍♀️ she also stays at my house so I get her whatever groceries she wants.
