Jacoby & Meyers

I started out as a legal secretary/receptionist, who immediately took to the general practice of law.  The opportunity led me to discover I had a natural talent to screen cases, make appointment to discuss legal issues, primarily family law.  Within six months, I became  Employee of the Month, and recruited to grow with their expanding private injury cases.

Jacoby & Meyers gave me the opportunity, which led later to pursuing higher education in obtaining my Paralegal Certificate at Brooklyn College.

I love working in criminal defense. This company did not represent defendants alleged to have committed serious crimes, but only such simple matters as DUIs, shoplifting, and minor assault and battery (only where minor damages were the result). When I was at the public defenders office, many District Attorneys and Public Defenders were laid off due to the county's economic stress. I was familiar with kind of cases handled by Jacoby & Meyers when I started working at J&M. I did feel that the pay and benefits could have been better, however, especially with my experience.

Work/life balance is great, but it’s a trade-off for the low pay you receive. There are no real advancement opportunities and raises are few and far between. There are no benefits and the employees who truly care about the firm’s well-being are treated poorly whereas the employees that do not produce as much, are problematic  and are less prepared are treated better.  

The managing partners take the time to get to know their employees and the company really does want the best for everyone by providing additional training, flexible schedules, remote work, raises, monthly 1-1s with your manager and they often ask you how they can help in achieving your career goals. 

Revolving Door in reference to hiring of customer service representative, which were considered paralegals. The call count was at 60 calls per day - most representative rushed the clients off the phone to maintain their count of calls per day.

I enjoyed working for this firm, but there was a lot of misleading information in regards to what your actual job duties were. The employees there were so great and fun to work with, but the job was stressful. Similar to a sales job. 

Loved working at Jacoby & Meyers.  The attorneys were all so nice and my co-workers were like family.  They give you opportunities to learn and be promoted.

Love working for J&M. Training and Managers are amazing. Case loads are high but you do receive enough training and resources . They have been kind always willing to help 

I've learned that working with attorneys is fast paced intense, however the outcome of the work provided to our clients is quite rewarding to them   .

The job left much to be desired. It was the worst job experience. They do not value their employees. The salary isn’t enough for the headache. The staff is ok.
