    Pros

    No pros at all for this firm.

    This firm is scam, they keep on changing name from Layfield law firm to Layfield and Wallace and then Layfield and Barrett and now they have changed to 855 trial attorney. There is hardly anyone stay in the firm for more than one year, they either being terminated for no reason or they understand​ there is no scope other than being humiliated. They have recently closed office in Chandigarh and have not paid any notice to their employees and vendors. Even Bangalore office they have fired almost 50% staff. The owner of the firm is Layfield, who is horrible person​ he runs this fraudulent company and should not be allowed to work.

    Pros

    Nothing! Nothing at all!! Absolutely nothing!!!

    Cons

    1 - They will first allure you with a good offer package and once you are onboard, they will start misbehaving. The top Management will always try and scare you with the word "TERMINATION" 2 - People are very unhappy and miserable there. 3 - Management in the USA have no ethics and would treat you like a slave. 4 - There are CCTV cameras with audio recording everywhere even behind your system. If even for a minute you are found attending any call or just texting, chances are you would be FIRED! 5- The environment is very TOXIC and NEGATIVE. 6 - Even if you are unemployed, look for a better job and do not get into their trap.
