BARTLETT, LOEB, HINDS & THOMPSON, PLLC

Advice to law firm management:

Stay away from this firm. I don't care how experienced you are, they go out of their way to humuliate you.

Pros:

Nothing I can say that would be positive about this firm.

Cons:

I worked there for a short time in 2019 and I can see by the other reviews they haven't changed. The office manager's answer to everything is to fire as many people as she could. I worked very hard with some long days and I got nothing but disrespect from the attorneys who did not appreciate you, no matter what you did. When I mentioned that I wasn't happy with the treatment there to the office manager, she fired me. There were about 6 people working in the job I was working within two years. They just don't get it.

Partners to Avoid and Why:

All of them.

Favorite Things About this Firm:

Absolutely nothing. Worst place I have every worked.

Advice to law firm management:

Start by firing the office manager for enabling a terrible work environment. Then send the managing lawyers to a CLE to teach them how to run a law firm in a professional manner.

Pros:

I really wish I could say something nice about working here but at the end of the day, the work environment is so bad that the “best of the firm” were some of the staff members but all eventually leave leaving very little positive about the firm.

Cons:

The office manager, especially, but also the environment of blaming the staff and/or associate attorneys for incompetently managing the firm, manufacturing/falsely accusing employees of unsubstantiated claims to justify firing for cause. If you want to know exactly the type of work environment you’ll be stepping into, ask them how many people have left the firm in the recent past. While I was there at least 7 people resigned and I know of several others who were actively interviewing. The gentle sentiment….”I need to GTFO” of here.

Partners to Avoid and Why:

See above. Really, all of them.

Favorite Things About this Firm:

I didn’t enjoy my time working for this law firm.

Advice to law firm management:

See the comments above.

Pros:

Absolutely nothing. The lawyers who run the firm are shady, unethical and backstabbers.

Cons:

The office managed. She’s a conniving, rumor monger who repeatedly stabs hardworking employees in the back. She is notorious for open admitting she enjoys getting staff members fired. She acts like the founding and managing partner of the firm. Sadly, she a vindictive paper Tiger who has one set of rules for herself and another set of rules for the rest of the office staff. A low life individual who embodies Peter principle and double standard.
