Former Employee

Advice to law firm management:
The law office needs to consider hiring more employees and staff to take on heavy work load. Also, the firm should look into increasing the wages for the hard working staff and employees.

No Equally Opportunity for all on May 19, 2024 - Former Employee Mr. in San Francisco City,

Advice to law firm management:
HR should take care of the newcomers and directly communicate with them, listen to them and try to sort out the issues they face most of the time from the senior attorneys.

Crooked by Senior on May 19, 2024 - Former Employee Mr. in San Francisco City,

Full time 2016 Former Employee

Advice to law firm management:
Please help to the newcomer to start their career.

Pros:
It's charming for new career starter to join the firm, but in reality, it's not. Actual best pas is senior staff enjoying their facilities/salaries a lot.

Cons:
The worst of the Burr Forman law firm is they do not promote lower-ranked staff and never help to the newcomer to start their career with enthusiasm instead senior attorneys crook them and another staff involves in backstabbing for newcomers. I do not recommend for internees to join that firm at the start of their career.

Favorite Things About this Firm:
If I say that "I do not have anything to share here" then you are fair intelligent to understand my that statement.

Never hire Burr and Forman on May 19, 2024 - Former Employee Mr. in San Francisco City,

Full time 2018 Former Employee

Advice to law firm management:
Communicate with clients.

Pros:
No pros whatsoever

Cons:
The law firm is filled with people who would do and say anything to get your retainer but then they will ditch you. They will leave you in the dark and you will never get a status update on your case. They are the worst people to hire. The staff does not work at all and as a result of a lot of the cases, they take they lose. I want to make it very clear that you should never hire people from this firm. Communication, no one works at the firm.

Please avoid from dishonest man.
