KENNETH S. NUGENT Reviews

Pros

Flexible working hours, opportunity to work on a team consisting of two attorney's, a litigation paralegal, case managers (4 total) and a settlement clerk. The attorney's on my team are very supportive and lead by example.

Cons

Sometimes computer issues arises, but the IT team are very quick to resolve in a timely manner.

Advice to Management

I think the Management team is on the right track overall with how the firm is operating which is evident by their growth and overall successes.

Pros

Good vacation time, coworkers are mostly nice. Miserable, but nice

Cons

Too many to list. Management is a nightmare, horrible training, like almost nonexistent, by 2 people who have 0 organization or even know how to do the job

Advice to Management

You are clueless as to what is going on, or how the failures start with you. No amount of advice will help

Pros

Decent paying job Awesome Christmas gathering

Cons

The attorneys don't really work for the clients, they work for the firm. That said, they're often finding ways to manipulate clients out of more money. Most of the attorneys see our clients who are mostly african american with little to no income as stupid and beneath them and easy to take advantage of. I've watched attorneys try to manipulate a client, get caught and lash out at the client. At first glance, you think they are helping people who otherwise couldn't help themselves but they're not...they're preying on them for their on gain...they ignore them, until they feel they are useful to them and charge 40%, plus sign on fees $75, and recently added copying cost for every sheet of paper they have to print for you case another way to take advantage of ppl.

Advice to Management

Remember the reason this firm was started to actually provide access to legal services. Stop this predatory charging and be fair with clients and finally, take care of your employees...not just the ones you see...but all of them.

Pros

Great compensation, given the autonomy to work on cases, and the opportunity to have a work/life balance

Cons

No real issues but sometimes the job can be stressful

Advice to Management

None

Pros

They give you the autonomy to work your case load as you see fit.

Cons

No support from upper management. If have a grievance, but are not a part of the family circle, it would be best to keep it to yourself. Also, you do not have the freedom do manage your staff. The staff can be openly insubordinate to their supervisors, and continuously under perform, without any fear of consequences.

Pros

Great pay. Great bosses. Helping folks who would otherwise get the shaft.

Cons

Got thrown out being a real employee when the ACA went into effect

Pros

Relaxed environment, Flex time sort of, no micro-management, private offices for employees with direct dial phone numbers.

Cons

Attorneys do next to none of their own work, ZERO appreciation from management and attorneys, no HR dept., NEPOTISM, favoritism, some employees get to come and go as they please, too many youngish employees that like to gossip and start drama, absolutely no one to go to if you have a problem or an issue that needs to be addressed.

Advice to Management

get a REAL HR person and have the firm policies apply to ALL employees, even the family of the owner.

Pros

Fantastic compensation, autonomy, and work/life balance.

Cons

Requires self discipline and motivation to perform well and competition is high.

Advice to Management

None.
