Advice to law firm management: Listen to what the outside world is saying about this firm. The firm reputation is not good. Pay staff fairly and perhaps there will not be as much turnover.

Pros: The office is a nice building. Parking is easy and there are a lot of parking spaces. There are a few nice competent attorneys.

Cons: No one had an answer why 18 employees left the firm including 15 attorneys. All that I was given was the "party line." It was as if I was in the Soviet Union. All that the firm cares about is billing. The firm does not keep a brief library. There is no para-legal help. On secretary works for seven attorneys. Impossible to get an adjournment. Management ignores complaints.
