Verrill Dana LLP

What would you, or others, like to see changed at employer?
This firm needs to care more about their clients and less about the overall profit. No one likes a greedy business, and behaving in shady situations will only drive people away in the long run.

What were the things that you liked most about this employer?
This law firm possesses an upbeat and friendly atmosphere and management shows that they truly care about the corporation. Low effort employees are dealt with so others don't have to pick up their slack. The work load is manageable with some long days here and there, but overall shows that they really care about their employees and want them to succeed.

What did you not like about this institution?
Unfortunately with this firm, money is the main target. They want employees to do whatever they can to obtain a client, even if it goes against moral standards. This firm isn't involved in illegal matters, but really emphasizes the importance of money and how employees need to help the business expand.

What did you not like about this institution?
Phil Coffin goes through the motions, puts very little effort into his work, and is devoid of any true interest or care for his clients. He may have been a sound attorney at one time. But now it appears he views his work as something to entertain his time. Clients suffer as a result. He needs to retire and be replaced by an attorney who actually cares.

What were the things that you liked most about this employer?
They appear to have been involved in some shady business dealings and fraudulent transfers of assets involving an estate. Assets of mine were moved through three lawfirms illegally and the main lawyer involved in this slammed the phone on me when questioned where the money was. They are extremely immoral and this primo lawyer lies constantly and has been taking money out of my family estate for years. Dishonest , unscrupulous, complicit and rude. I have had this confirmed by other lawyers that they are greedy and take money out of people's estates. They are terrible and seem to think consumers have nothing to say about anything. They also seem to have devised a template for the financial/ estate scheme that has been rolled out to other entities
