Pros

Staff is nice, free parking

Cons

They’ll overwork you, you have to fight for an office day. Clients frequently upset because you don’t have time to work their cases. Barely time to review files for next day. You have to input all your time and activities. No in house investigator so if the case needs investigation, client has to pay for that as well and they get upset because they thought it was covered by the retainer. Its all about the money. Intake makes promises that they shouldn’t just to get clients to sign retainers. Paralegals aren’t real paralegals, they’re secretaries. You don’t control your own calendar. LA emails your daily calendar late afternoon the day before, sometimes morning of. They’ve been sued by former attorneys for a reason - two cases are still pending in Los Angeles County. There’s a youtube video with attorney Heather Monasky talking about all these problems. Her lawsuit settled but all the problems she discusses still exist. Employees are paid to write positive reviews! Benefits are just ok, no 401k contributions either. Management refuses to make any changes. Staff and attorneys come and go. No room for advancement.

Pros

When I first started, there were multiple admin teams, but those are all gone now. If you work in person, I guess you get the perk of like, an occasional lunch or outing. If you work remote, none whatsoever.

Cons

Where to even begin? Abysmal pay, minimal benefits, complete lack of respect for staff and clients, extremely exploitative and aggressive style of getting clients. I had multiple clients tell me that billing threatened to report them to ICE if they didn’t pay. The caseload is obscene - at one point I had a caseload of 500. Every day clients call absolutely furious bc their cases are getting neglected bc there simply isn’t enough time to do them. Dozens of clients with a year or more without contact. They take soooo many cases that simply aren’t eligible for the services. Your license is genuinely at risk if you choose to work for them. And that’s just the more serious issues - you have to do the admin work and reports that normally the managing attorneys at any other firm would do themselves. From what I can see, management mostly spends their time doing media, photo shoots, and harassing any staff member who happens to blink at them wrong. This job gave me actual stress nightmares for months. Avoid at all costs!!!!
