Advice to law firm management:
I believe that this firm needs to hire some more attorneys to take some of the work load off of the attorneys that are more knowledgeable and helpful and can lend a helping hand to those working on more complicated cases.
Pros:
I dealt with many complicated cases while working at this firm and received a lot of help from all of the attorneys. I could not be more grateful to my secretary as well!
Cons:
Sometimes the other attorneys can get so backed up with work that I would have to take a break due to not knowing how to proceed on a particular case.
