I'm a solo and I had a pretty good year. Hired a paralegal who has been pretty 180. How much to give as a bonus assuming salary is about $35k? Saved me numerous times over the year and wrote pretty much every brief.

I think we need to know whether he won the case or not. I could get my secretary to write a brief...it would suck, but she could put some words on a paper and call it a brief.

She won this HUGE motion to dismiss. It was some TTT P.I. case I wanted nothing to do with and had better things to do. She won it and they ended up settling for a good chunk of change.

She's obviously lost some motions--not really her fault. THe law was against us. But everything she should have won we won.

Well she's a fucking law student. Hired her for her "research resources" but she was fucking brilliant. She used to work at express.

She is smart though. Struck out at OCI and is hustling. Every lawyer I've met wants to fuck her. It would be sick if she stayed on as an atty.

You could offer her a job as a lawyer and 1K bonus plus a 5K raise. Good employees are hard to find. You'd be dumb as shit to let her go.

I do a lot of criminal stuffy personally (hence running around). I take care of that because it's running around. I also get personal injury, employment, believe it or not TTT civil rights type cases (tied to employment), I get the spillover for a big union in NYC that has a ton of cases but often has to send some out because of conflicts.
