Date: December 5th, 2014 6:55 PM Author: Tan temple Recently accepted offer at a workers comp firm in southern california. Firm is midsized with a number of offices and 50-100 attorneys. They offered me 70k to start with health insurance, regular salary review, bonuses, etc. It's a legit 9-5.
The firm seems chill and this is prob the least stressful job I can imagine in the law, but is it really "in the law"?? Was in court all week and met a number of prolish types. It's def not prestigious.
Maybe that bothers me a little bit, but honestly, most attorneys that aren't in biglaw are retarded anyway. Is it worth it to try to work in another practice area (probably with more stress but same pay) for the promise and opportunity of being a "real attorney"? I'm not sure what the ceiling is on income here, but I'm pretty sure it's low. My firm only bills clients at <200/hr! |

Date: December 5th, 2014 9:07 PM Author: chrome pit Your firm probably charges clients like $100-130/hr. Some workers' comp defense is as low as $90/hr. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=2748080&forum_id=2/#26867743) |
Date: December 5th, 2014 6:57 PM Author: Galvanic organic girlfriend cumskin It's less prestigious than low end PI and significantly less prestigious than ID, but if your billables are low, you can make good money and it's 9-5, who gives a fuck what others think. Nothing in shitlaw is prestigious anyways. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=2748080&forum_id=2/#26866945) |

Date: December 5th, 2014 7:25 PM Author: Tan temple I agree that nothing that's a real option for me at this point is prestigious anyway, and I tried to make that point in OP. But what I meant to suggest was that if I were doing shitlaw in some civil practice area, theoretically I could one day start my own practice or move up to a position making several hundred thousand /yr. Wondering if that's worth it for me. I have a shitlaw friend that has been practicing for twelve yrs and just went solo who is making ~400k. I know the work will be a lot shittier and the pay would start out similar or lower. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=2748080&forum_id=2/#26867048) |

Date: December 5th, 2014 7:00 PM Author: Galvanic organic girlfriend cumskin And isn't workers comp in the 100 an hour range? (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=2748080&forum_id=2/#26866956) |

Date: December 5th, 2014 7:28 PM Author: Tan temple I was told that we range from as low as 130/hr to 200/hr depending on the client (almost all insurance companies). I haven't actually billed anything yet because it's a decent firm and they are actually training me before they give me my own files.

Date: December 5th, 2014 8:59 PM Author: chrome pit I can guarantee you it's not 9-5. And not all workers' comp is that bad. Some is like normal lit. But it's basically like insurance defense. Super low rates, need to bill a lot of $$ to make the firm $$. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=2748080&forum_id=2/#26867680) |
