Cooney, Scully and Dowling

Keep on growing as a firm. Find ways to reduce stress in the workplace.

Lawyers are knowledgeable and experienced. The work is enjoyable. Staff are willing to lend a hand if needed. Overall, decent place.

The practice areas are limited. The work could often be stressful.

I would like to see this firm pick up a few new front desk staff members since they seemed to be ever so slightly under staffed during my stay here.

I really enjoyed working with everyone at this firm. There is a great group of diverse associates at this firm and everyone is very friendly and family oriented. The pay is outstanding as well.

The location can be somewhat difficult to get to from where I was situated. The cost of getting to this firm from my location was quite pricey and quite timely on top of that.

You can make the best of your opportunity at this firm, there is no doubt. But be prepared for what lies ahead, including not having all the support you need to do your very best every day. Many lawyers should think twice about taking this opportunity.

As a new layer at Cooney Scully, you'll be put to work right away, and you will digest information quickly. You'll learn at a breakneck pace and set yourself up for future career chances, if you should need or want them.

At this firm, there isn't a lot of guidance from the top brass. As an associate, you are largely on your own to learn and do what needs to be done. You may end up making mistakes and embarrassing yourself or even the firm.
