The Fact File:
This place is an absolute hell. No attorney should be subjected to this place.
If there is a National holiday and the office must be closed at the direction of
the US Government, they do what is called "motion madness" meaning you must
draft three motions before leaving so that the named partners feel as if you have
earned your day off. Many attorneys work for below average salary and must work
every other Saturday in a suit, no exceptions. Many people begin work one day
and go out to lunch and never come back. Partners recently have quit the law
firm without even having a position or partnership at another law firm before
deciding to leave. All attorneys work from 7:30-8 am until 7-9 pm. The
Saturday schedule is from 9 am - 3pm.
The interview process is not difficult. Simply sound somewhat intelligent and
one should be able to land a position. This law firm is always desperate for
attorneys since the average turn around is three to six months. It is a great
stepping stone for someone straight out of law school.
You will be extremely underpaid, and you will not be able to work-out any
increases.
