Everything about working here is a con, including the managing partner asking associates (and partners) to write positive reviews on here with a latent threat of being fired if they don't. As you can see, it has worked !
People generally do not last here more than a year, and most leave because of the way the firm is managed and because the managing partner is crazy, aggressive, erratic, and really, not a very talented lawyer. When I was with the firm, he came back from Court every day while on trial bragging about how he was KILLING the other side, and then lost to the tune of $1M plus. I never saw him do anything impressive or skillful, other than lure clients with the promise of concert or sports tickets. He has that down real well.
The turnover rate for such a small firm is horrible-they have had close to 20 attorneys leave in a two year time period, which, for a firm the size of this one (small), is really bad and very telling.
The rest of the partners are okay, but are really just glorified associates anyway.
The emphasis here is 100 % on billing and you are only worth your hours billed.
If you have any type of talent, don't waste it here.
