Daspit Law

If you want experience, you will get it here.  After a week of video watching, you will very quickly be thrown into the deep end and expected to figure everything out with your own docket from intake to discovery to hearings, albeit with heavy micro-management on anything concerning case resolution (negotiations, mediation, etc.)  

This is partly because the firm has no choice since it continually expands case intake despite the fact that attorneys flee the firm in ever increasing numbers including management.  This past year, one office had to outright close for losing everyone, most other Texas offices lost their head attorney, and half the partners bolted.

As a result, the remaining lead attorneys are swamped with hundreds of cases each that are impossible to keep track of.  The trickle down effect is that associates will constantly be thrown into coverage situations on short/no notice and play damage control with angry clients who aren't being contacted while getting little guidance.  The fact that paralegals are similarly churned through compounds the situation and calendaring issues.

You are expected to be in office minimum 54 hours a week, 8:45AM-7PM.  You get 1-2 work from home days a month if you last 6 months, and even then only on set day options.  Worklife balance or even CLE participation is not a consideration.  There are is also usually some sort of weekly extra mandate with reporting expected back to management on whatever problem area the firm is currently attempting to bandage. 

Benefits are health insurance with optional dental, no vision.  There is no 401k.  No CLE contribution.  Additionally, you will often be expected to front case costs yourself and be paid back at later dates.  It's not unheard of for attorneys to need to pay several thousand out of pocket for travel on a case and wait weeks for their expense request to be addressed.

If you're willing to throw away 6-12 months of your life to gain civil litigation experience, you will get it here with a solid salary.  Anything more than that, do not expect to find here; there's a reason no one stays.

the work load and attorneys are great at daspit. the problem is with the “higher” paralegals that feel as though the same rules that apply to everyone don’t apply to them as well. upper management is cliquey and they WILL fire you for absolutely no reason, at any time, without notice, simply because they don’t like you. please do no work here. they do not value the work and effort you put in. oh and you get not training whatsoever other than some horrible videos that aren’t updated. and then you’ll get in trouble for stuff that’s not in the videos as well. just an overall bad place to work

I started working at Daspit  last month and its been a nice workplace. Workplace so far is well organized and co workers are really helpful and nice. Staff are very understanding and just expect good communication. I learned more of my communication skills, I wouldn't say its hard but you really need to speak clearly and just know what are you going to say next to the clients. I enjoy working on a computer and talking to clients. 

My day at work involves me interviewing potential new clients, assisting existing clients, opposing counsel, insurance companies, and prosecutors. I really enjoy the workplace culture, it feels like we're all a big family. Everyone helps one another when necessary which I think is a great team effort. Everyone is extremely nice and helpful as well. I plan to grow and build a long lasting career with the firm. 

Working at Daspit Law Firm, it is highly competitive, fast paced, and your work performance will be heavily rewarded with bonuses and increased pay if you can stick it out and put up with the long hours. You cant regularly work from home however as long as you are in regular contact with a managing partner most occasional/situational requests are approved and honored. My pay has doubled in the past 3 years. 

If u don't know anything about lawfirm or anything related DO NOT APPLY. They expect you to learn within 3 days maximum 5 days. The ladies who train you are not even patient enough for you to learn.  They tell you one thing but end up doing something else. Rules always change, so how u expect to learn something If they constantly change things up ?. I liked the job offer is just the way they train is not it !

When beginning you receive all the training and help you require. Once you're settled, you are allowed to work with minimal supervision as long as your work is correct and done in a timely matter. Any time there is a question, I have no issue getting the answers I need. My job at Daspit Law Firm has greatly increased my knowledge and understanding of working in an office environment.

Daspit was my entry into litigation and I am grateful for the experience, but when I started the training was all videos made by other paralegals and no one actually showing you what to do. The management was okay, and some attorneys are too. Thankfully if you dont get along with an attorney, you can ask to be reassigned. Case loads are over 100 cases per attorney.
