A. We just take the names our parents give us and put them on the door. When you see a lot of weird names together, those are the weird last names of the attorneys in the partnership. Many firms avoid this (and avoid having to change the firm name when partners come and go) by using a fictitious business name like "The Real Estate Law Group" or something like that.

My employer attempted to settle with me fast because I knew they were try to get me to sign some papers to release them from responsibility. I called a recommended accident lawyer in my city who provided me useful advice and I was able to get a medium sized settlement to cover my medical bills that weren't covered by my work insurance. I'd find a accident lawyer in your area. My accident lawyer was helped me because they expect to make some money at the same time. Try calling a lawyer to see if they can help.

Recommend a lawyer / law firm for filing an Age Discrimination Lawsuit against the University of Pennsylvania?
Q. Can you recommend a lawyer or law firm in Philadelphia for filing an age discrimination lawsuit against the University of Pennsylvania (UPenn), the Board of Trustees, and/or Penn's President Amy Gutmann? Are there additional places outside of court to register a complaint of age discrimination against a private university that receives public funding? Clarify: The age discrimination is in writing from the University and is not about an application as a new student.

How do law firms know about my arrest?
Q. Last week I was taken into custody (due to a very honest mistake...long story) at a police precinct and bailed out a couple of hours later. But ever since then, I've been getting advertisements from lawyers and different law firms in my area telling me to call them. I don't need a lawyer, but my question is - how do these firms know about my arrest? (is it like public records or something? can anyone find out about it?)

A. Yes, he'll have a hard time. First, he'll need to learn the material necessary to practice that type of law - and that's not something he learned in either law school or bar review. Second, he'll need to bring in clients - and that can be an almost full time job on its own. Third, he'll have to service those clients - something that's not easy for any lawyer practicing solo. Finally, he should learn that in some states use of the word "specialized" is prohibited unless he actually has some form of certification as a specialist.

I really don't want to work in a big firm.

Asked by Chad S - Thu Jun 5 22:58:42 2008 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments
A. Small firms hire new law graduates all the time. Most small firms do not participate in the on-campus recruiting process so you may need to be more proactive about locating and applying to small firms. Keep in mind that small law firms generally have smaller hiring budgets than the big firms and pay lower salaries. On the positive side, competition for these positions is not as great as competition for big firm jobs that offer top salaries. Earning top grades will increase your appeal to small firms. I would also advise getting hands-on experience during law school since small firms often seek new grads who can hit the ground running.

Does anyone know of a good bankruptcy lawyer or law firm in the St. Charles/St. Louis, MO region?
Q. I am caught between debt consolidation and filing for bankruptcy. Either option negatively affects my credit - so does not doing anything. Also, I am concerned that I will not be able to pay off my debt through consolidation.

What are law firms looking for in applicants?
Q. As an arts graduate who has never studied law or business I am having trouble knowing what to say in applications to law firms in order to convince them I want to be a commercial lawyer. Is reading about business in the papers enough? does anyone know any good general business studies books or any important areas to look at in the press, like the credit crunch. If you have successfully applied to law firms what tips can you give me for applications and interviews. Many thanks!

A. Law firms are generally looking for anyone with experience. The smaller firms don't want to spend a lot of time training.

For Those Working (or who have Worked) at a Small Law Firm?
Q. I'm currently a law student and I was hoping that someone could tell me about the advantages and/or disadvantages of working at a small law firm (20 lawyers or less) as opposed to a big law firm. Thanks! Perhaps I should have mentioned that I am a law student in Canada. Also, while I appreciate good intentions wrapped in cynicism, I am hoping to receive an answer that helps me choose between working at a smaller boutique law firm or at a big law firm.

A. The smaller the law firm, the more "hats" you will be asked to wear. The smaller the law firm, the less pay you usually receive. If you can, change your major asap. Choosing a career is one of life's most important decisions. The legal profession is dramatically changing and is in CRISIS!!! Every year, more and more people graduate from law school, but there are fewer and fewer jobs. Even the largest and most reputable law firms are experiencing unprecedented cutbacks. I don't expect the situation to improve in the coming years... Be aware of what you are proposing on getting yourself into. Please do more research first. Reminder: We are in a World-wide Recession. Consider career paths that have available JOBS.<<< Warning> Jobs… [cont.]
