Gallagher Evelius & Jones LLP Reviews

Advice to law firm management:
Diversity mentality
Pros:
Nothing
Cons:
This is a racist law firm.
1) An African American attorney was fired for wearing braids.
2) I was fired after an White Male attorney saw me on my lunch break simply laughing with friends.
3) My work and a Hispanic male work was always wrong. After receiving the same document back, looking like a F graded school paper, we presented the updated document to another attorney. Again the document was returned looking like and F graded school paper with voluminous strike outs. It was ALL ABOUT THE (MINORITY ) MESSENGER AND NOT THE MESSAGE.
4) Knowing to I use public transportation, 1 attorney would always want to begin an assignment at 5 p.m. leading me into a conference room. I was so afraid walking to and standing at the bus stop. I did not hand out in the dark on my personal time.
I don't know why this firm has not been sued and dismantles! I did not have solid proof of their negligence, and disrespectful for those who did mot look like them! There is still JUDGEMENT DAY!
Partners to Avoid and Why:
Treat Minorities like people!

Advice to law firm management:
There should be more transfer opportunities across the system for new employees. A structured performance based growth plan is missing for most employees.
Pros:
Interesting, challenging and versatile workplace. Great exposure to multiple industries and cutting edge cases. Constant focus on your professional growth and development. Overall good learning experience.
Cons:
The hours are long, especially when you are working for big clients. I think the biggest challenge for attorneys is career progression and lack of a defined career path, which acts as morale degradation over time.
