NOT RECOMMENDED Read More About the BCG Attorney Search Law Firm Ranking System
We have heard negative reviews about this firm from the public and do not trust them.
Not Recommended law firms may have a history of complaints and negative reviews, possibly making them risky workplaces for associates and other employees. These firms may exhibit toxic work environments marked by a lack of coordination between departments and management, possible political strife, and different problematic dynamics. The management at Not Recommended firms may be unresponsive to concerns about human resources or political issues, leading to high employee dissatisfaction and, in some cases, negative experience. As a result, these firms may be considered undesirable choices for those seeking stable and fulfilling employment in the legal industry. Some law firms ranked Not Recommended or below are done so based on private information possessed by BCG Attorney Search. This information makes us nervous about recommending this firm to others until these issues are corrected.
We have been in this business for 25+ years, have spoken with countless attorneys from this firm, and believe that certain firms (most firms) err on the side of being more positive than negative places to work. There are also firms where the reports from attorneys are more negative than positive and have been for years. This does not mean every attorney has a negative experience at Not Recommended firms, every department is problematical, or every office is. Over time, cultural, management, and other issues result in an overall negative rating. We are careful about making these ratings only when confidential; ongoing adverse reports are confirmed by our experience with the firm and speaking with many attorneys there that seem consistently more negative than positive.

"Horrible and unethical houston office" - Anonymous
Advice to law firm management: Tons of changes needed to houston personnel. New office manager and get the catty unethical women out. They are ruining the firm
Pros: Pay
Cons: Highly recommend no one works here. Managing partner lied to my face then several women were all about drama and if you don't give them the attention they want they try and get you out even if you do good work. Horrible place. Both summer associates from this firm were heavily displeased with the office. It felt like high school with the drama and catty women. Managing partner needs to go as well as the catty women. Even partners that I network with who have left this place arent surprised about it.
Partners to Avoid and Why: Nearly everybody except a few , mainly the senior partners are good. The new ppl ruined this place
Current or former employee?: Current Employee
Job type: Full time
"Despite my initial hopes, this Jackson Lewis P.C. failed to deliver on their promises and left me feeling skeptical about their ability to meet the needs of their customers." - Anonymous
Cons: 1.0 Current Employeehorrible SF office cultureNov 19, 2022 - Senior Associate in San Francisco, CA Proslots of work, mostly insuranceConsFirm cuts your hours to trim the client bill and it comes off the bottom line of your billables. You will constantly have to ""make up"" time that was cut off your billable hours but you find out about cut time 1-2 months after the fact. You may or may not have good support staff (good luck getting Belinda to be helpful). There is some representation of minorities but the firm does not support D&I in any meaningful way and the so called D&I committee did very little for several years.
