Former Employee Former Employee Mr. San Francisco

Advice to law firm management:
Get a grip and pay your employees on time. Checks have bounced in the past and then continually issued checks that had to wait to be cashed.

Pros:
I cannot say anything good about this firm as I do not believe I have been treated fairly. They need to upgrade their ethics on handling employees.

Cons:
This firm has constantly issued checks that are not able to be cashed when issued. You have to wait until you get the go ahead to cash. Do not take a position with this firm if you need to be issued a valid paycheck on time.

Partners to Avoid and Why:
Kim Newman - Did not have a problem with this partner until I found out she was not really aware of what has been going on and does not respond to e-mails.

Favorite Things About this Firm:
I do not have anything good to say about this firm because of their unfair tactics in handling their employees. I would not even give them one star.

Former Employee Former Employee Mr. San Francisco

Advice to law firm management:
Sell your house in Hilton Head and pay your staff. Hire actual professionals trained in the various fields instead of attempting to employ your entire family, all of whom are unqualified.

Pros:
There really was nothing to brag on about the firm.

Cons:
I managed one of the firm’s offices. The firm did not offer direct deposit. Its founder called almost daily to literally yell at the attorneys, admonishing to bill more - to the degree billing would have become the job if his mandates were followed. On top of that, everyone’s paychecks were returned as the firm having insufficient funds EVERY two weeks - even the secretarial staff. In addition, the firm lost clients by the bucket load. It boggles the mind.

Partners to Avoid and Why:
David Allen - he does not know the law beyond WC related issues and is completely unprofessional.

Favorite Things About this Firm:
I honestly liked nothing about the firm other than the fact that I had a very sweet, yet not highly competent, assistant.
