"Like working for your family, only better"
StarStarStarStarStarI worked at Boleman Law Firm full-time
Pros
I worked at Boleman Law for only a year, but it was, without a doubt, the best year of my life. I was a military wife looking for work in a place that doesn't hire military spouses because they may be moved to a new command the next day, technically illegal but who can prove it? Finally, this company decided to take a chance on me and spend lots of time and money training me, and not only did they help me learn more... than i could ever imagine, they took care of me like family. The working environment there is one of the best ever, it is respectful but fun. The goal of the company is to actually help people and will do so at any expense, I saw it first hand every day. It is hard to come by a company these days that is willing to help the community areound them the way they do, if there were more companies run by people like this throughout the world, it would be a much better place. If i could go back to work there I would, not only to be surrounded by such support and compassion, but to be able to feel so accomplished each day for helping so many people through such an amazing company!

Honestly the only con about working for this company is the type of law they practice, it is hard to have to help people that are so stressed out, but because of Boleman i saw people come in miserable and angery and walk out with smiles on their face, you could see the relief in their faces. So ultimately there is no con that I ever experienced.
Advice to Management
Keep pushing the way you have been and keep caring about your employees like you do, they will keep pushing the firm forward as well.

Pros
Great team members from administrators to attorneys. Very understanding management, lots of room for growth and change. If you find that your current position isn't the best fit, management is very flexible about reworking you into another area.
Cons
For those who can't work well under pressure it can be a very fast paced work environment
Advice to Management
Keep growing and working on bringing the 3 offices together as one!

Pros
It's very rewarding being able to help people every day. My co-workers are supportive, helpful and have a wealth of knowledge from their various backgrounds. It really does feel like a family. There are so many great folks who are, together, trying to make a difference for our clients. The work can be stressful, but when you're having a down day there's always someone who can relate and sympathize or make you... laugh. Of course things come up with family, having small children, there's always the chance of illness in the family. It's nice that it's such a team atmosphere that I know when I'm out of the office, there is someone there, who has my back and can help. There have been countless times that I was shown that taking care of my family is important, much more than the market standard, from compensating additionally to help cover insurance premiums, to time off and an extended maternity leave. It is a business, and there's focus on being the best in our field. I love having that competitiveness and feeling that we need to show how great we can be so that folks use our firm instead of a competitor. Perfection is emphasized without being negative. It's more cultivating a feeling of importance and pride in each part of the process.

The days can be jam-packed of difficult clients because we're helping them during the most challenging times of their lives and are often time-sensitive, which adds to the stress. I feel like it's the nature of the work that can be hard, versus anything that the Company is or is not doing.
Advice to Management
I would love to have more opportunities to the three offices to get together and communicate. Not much else to say here.

Doesn't RecommendNegative OutlookI worked at Boleman Law Firm full-time for more than 8 years
Pros
Its a Job in this bad market right now!
Cons
You get treated as if you are nothing, they talking about being a "family" but clearly they are not. Threatened to fire several people because they had other obligations than to go to a retreat. Nothing is ever learned at the retreat except for a bunch of random drinking. It's basically a big tax write off. You will be over worked and underpaid... STAY AWAY! Slim to no room for advancement.
Advice to Management
Start caring more about the employees instead of caring about the numbers
