NOT RECOMMENDED Read More About the BCG Attorney Search Law Firm Ranking System
Based on negative feedback and our experience, we advise against using this firm.
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.

We have lovely offices, lovely people and make great and trusting relationships and can always rely on each other.ConsTraffic. But really just depends on how far or close you live from the office. Different for everyone, other than that can't complain about anything within the firm itself.

"I regret to say that I cannot give a positive review of this Gerard Fox Law, PC services as my own experience and the feedback of others have not been satisfactory." - Anonymous
Cons: 1.0 Former Employee, more than 1 yearDreadful!Associate Attorney in Los Angeles, CA ProsSome very nice people and decent opportunity for substantive work. Of course, that's partially because there is no one else to do the substantive work, meaning you will be overloaded and often expected to perform well beyond your capacity..ConsOh, dear. Where to begin. First, very little job security. Incredibly high turnover. People are fired or quit left and right, at all levels, for silly reasons. This has a major impact on case management, because often you will have to take over a case that has been shuffled around 3-4 other attorneys who are no longer even with the firm. Second, the hours expectations are far too high for the pay -- you are essentially expected to work in excess of Biglaw hours. Third, the firm's benefits are poor, and PayChex is terrible for 401K and payroll (no direct deposit? LOL?). Fourth, terrible, arrogant leadership. The firm has recently closed several offices and now has only two locations, and there's only like one person in New York. It's just a disaster. And, firm managing partner is pompous and rude, and very petty. He smack-talks people behind their back, especially outgoing employees. Fifth, bad, no-name clients that often don't pay bills.Advice to ManagementFrankly, close shop and merge with a better firm.
