Gordon Rees Scully Mansukhani LLP

What would you, or others, like to see changed at employer?
The other attorneys really want to see everyone succeed. Be a helpful contributor and take on the mindset that what benefits one will benefit all.

What were the things that you liked most about this employer?
A helpful firm to gain experience and you are able to move up in the firm pretty quickly. They have the best schedules and are flexible with your time schedule.

What did you not like about this institution?
There is little to no communication so it can make your job harder than necessary at times. The salary and benefits are very low compared to other firms of this size.

What would you, or others, like to see changed at employer?
Not sure how to improve other than to dissolve the firm. No one likes working there, the pay is not that good, the firm is not respected in the market, most partners do not have a lot of work--and so forth.

What were the things that you liked most about this employer?
This is the worst large law firm in the United States. They are a former insurance defense firm trying to act like a big firm. They are cheap with their associates, partners and everyone they come into contact with. There is little reason to work there. It is not a respected name in the legal profession.

What did you not like about this institution?
There is no reason to work there. It is not a good law firm. Attorneys coming out of here are not respected in the marketplace at all.

What would you, or others, like to see changed at employer?
Not sure what can be done. Stop pretending to be a big firm, ruining careers by hiring people to work there? New management might help but this is such a bad firm and has such a horrible reputation that it will probably take decades to fix.

What were the things that you liked most about this employer?
It is a law firm and a place to work? This is not a good firm and not a pleasant place to work--the only redeeming quality is that it does pay something.

What did you not like about this institution?
Every attorney hates working here. The work is horrible. This is an insurance defense firm pretending to be a big firm. Horrible reputation and management--STAY AWAY!

Change everyone!!! You are responsible for all of the crap that goes on!

What were the things that you liked most about this employer?
This firm is great at feeding you a bunch of false things, that in the end will never benefit you. They look down on their workers unless you’re a partner!

What did you not like about this institution?
The worst thing is the lack of leadership and Backstabbing that takes place in this firm!!

People, departments, offices, products, services and whatever comes to mind that should be avoided at this institution
The big partners, as well as the managing partners. Very underhanded!

I appreciate that insurance work's paltry rates make it impossible to pay your associates. However, if the equity partners contributed even a small percent of their outrageously high earnings towards the associates you might actually have a chance at stopping the ridiculously high turnover.

What were the things that you liked most about this employer?
Because this is largely insurance based work, your partner will dump almost all responsibility onto you (contacting client, initial investigation, writing litigation reports, writing briefs and motions). There is a small to decent chance you will argue a motion or take a deposition, but the partners usually do those. Likewise, because your work is insurance based, you will meet a lot of individuals. If you consider these things valuable experience, there is that.

What did you not like about this institution?
Lord almighty the pay - it's atrocious. If you have any friends in "BigLaw" you will be the most underpaid of your friend group, and should expect to make at least half their salaries. Likewise, the firm imposes a 1900 billable hour requirement, and a dollar-per-hour-over-1900 bonus structure that heavily incentives you to bill well in excess of that amount. Likewise because the work is insurance based, there is plenty to go around and you will be likely working well into the night on many occasions. By the same token, most insurance cases are inconsequential, and invariably settle without much legal strategy, tactics, or even thought. It's a numbers game for insurance companies. Lastly, even though you may meet a lot of new individuals, you'll always be retained counsel, and any relationship you share ends with the case.

People, departments, offices, products, services and whatever comes to mind that should be avoided at this institution
Most have fine personalities, but pass on the G&R Kool-aid when they offer it. G&R should not be your home for more than 2 years. Your personal and professional growth will cease, and your pay will continue to be laughable. Get experience, market yourself, and move to a well established firm that will pay you to the level you work.

How could this employer run its business to employees or the public better?
Free snacks. The other associates are nice.

What would you, or others, like to see changed at employer?
Replace management. Hire more male staff and stop being sexist. 2 guys working there isn't enough, with everyone else being a female. Replace your OA. And check on people's time arrival. Some worker's have gotten away with time fraud.

What were the things that you liked most about this employer?
Free bagels on Friday's and food on holidays.

What did you not like about this institution?
Everything else. I was at the Irvine Office, and the backstabbing that goes on, the unethical behaviors between attorney's and staff, under paid and over worked. The partner management needs to be replaced. The female managing partner needs her ego fed every time she is at the office. This woman shouldn't be an attorney. If you want to keep your job, you have to kiss her behind and other's too. The office supervisor will betray you and talk behind your back. I have never met a group of females that are miserable, that they make everyone else there miserable. These people are not happy people. The receptionist needs to put some makeup on and look alive!!! She also needs to tone down her tone of voice and have some respect for other workers, whether new or not. I have never seen a firm that gets away with disrespect and a lack of integrity and accountability. In order to move up here, the OA and her AA, need to like you. Regardless if you do good work, if they don't like you, you will not advance.

People, departments, offices, products, services and whatever comes to mind that should be avoided at this institution
Stay away from the female managing partner, unless you're great a kissing up to people to move upward. One of the male partners there has the tendency to take his anger out of the staff, hence why no one likes him.

How could this employer run its business to employees or the public better?
Free food. They have snacks. That's it.

Fire the female management, get new management and supervisor and a new OA.

What were the things that you liked most about this employer?
There isn't a thing I can think if that is great of this firm.

What did you not like about this institution?
People are able to get away with anything and everything at this firm. The gossip, backstabbing by the legal secretaries and the female management and OA. No one has your back here.... Also, if you ask other law firms about GRSM, they will tell you that the Irvine Office is a complete joke and that you can do better. Attorney's act like they deserve the red carpet. No one, and I mean no one respect anyone in this office. Time fraud is huge at this firm and so is blaming someone else for their mistakes and not taking accountability. Not even the OA takes accountability. The pay isn't great and not worth the lack of respect you get by working here.

People, departments, offices, products, services and whatever comes to mind that should be avoided at this institution
Avoid the managing partners. The female managing partner will only blame you for her wrong doing, so she doesn't get caught. And if the supervisor who is also a female doesn't like you, you won't last at that firm. It's not worth it!!

STOP COMMITTING CRIMES AGAINST GOOD, HARD, WORKING EMPLOYEES - CORRECT ALL OF YOUR CRIMES (IT WOULD TAKE HUNDREDS OF YEARS!) ADDRESS YOUR EVIL, GREEDY CONDUCT AND STOP CONSPIRING WITH OTHERS, INCLUDING JUDGES AND OTHERS, TO STEAL MORE MONEY. TRY TO GAIN SOME MEASURE OF INTEGRITY, JUST ONCE IN YOUR LIVES.

What were the things that you liked most about this employer?
They are very good at lying, stalling, threatening and committing crimes.

What did you not like about this institution?
I crossed paths with this firm twice in just a few short years, and they proceeded to commit crimes against me in order to get their way. Their Craig Mariam went before the firms good buddy in San Diego, the corrupt Judge Ronald Frasier, and had my rights violated without cause. Mariam's acts led to additional disturbing acts and crimes, committed by my own attorney, hired to go after them and an abusive employer in Malibu, who had been sexually harassing numerous Latina employees, including: Touching, body parts described, death threats and more. All the claims were suppressed and they orchestrated several death threats against me as well. Gordon & Rees are RESPONSIBLE FOR THE WIDESPREAD ABUSE OF GOOD EMPLOYEES THROUGHOUT THE COUNTRY AND BEYOND! The employers are/were dirty and abusive, accustomed to abusing staff(s). As they have occasionally had to pay out on claims related to these abuses, they now have annual policies with ARGO Insurance against any employee action. Whenever ANY employee stands up to the proven dirty employers and seeks remedy, ARGO hires Gordon & Rees, who immediately proceed to attack that employee in every conceivable way. They will commit whatever crime necessary to make the problem go away and to suppress all claims I was recently contacted by two different Human Rights Commissions, after their agents read my report about the Calif. Bar and Gordon & Rees' Mariam. Hopefully my testimony and documentation will help in the broad exposure, both of the clearly dirty Cal Bar, in and of itself, but also of all the attorneys and judicial officers also involved. The Commission used the term "System Violence", to describe the type of crimes committed against me by Gordon & Rees Mariam. Sadly, this also involves numerous dirty and corrupt Judges, etc. The California Bar Association is every bit as crooked and evil as the numerous dirty attorneys like Gordon & Rees, rummaging for illegal scraps throughout Corruptafornia. They do everything they can to suppress the crimes. In both instances, they buried my extensive reports to them, detailing not the clear criminal acts of Gordon & Rees' Craig Mariam. They waited and stalled - right through my right to file any malpractice claim against the dirty attorney(s) - then requested additional documentation, much of which they had already been provided. They then waited and stalled for months longer, then in the end allowed the dirty attorneys to provide a final statement, which they then accepted as truth and fact, ignoring the mass of evidence already provided them. In the case of Mariam, while they acknowledged that there was NO CAUSE for any Restraining Order against me and that there was NO EVIDENCE - meaning Mariam is a perjuring criminal, which we already knew - instead of doing anything at all to punish the cowardly villain, they merely blamed the dirty Judge for allowing it. Mariam should have been disbarred, then imprisoned. Yet they did nothing at all to him and never even began to address their obvious and documented criminal acts. Incidentally, a very prominent San Diego Labor Attorney told me that he couldn't take on my case at that time against Gordon & Rees Client Greg Fowler, despite his claims that it simply "abounded in merit", once he confirmed the presence of that judge and Gordon & Rees. He said he would expect the judge to display what he termed a, "Pervasive Bias", not only towards Big Business in general, but towards dirty Gordon & Rees' specifically. And that is EXACLTY what he dirty, judge did! Scary. If anyone wasn't sure just how corrupt your courts in California truly are, all based on the sickness of greed displayed by the likes of Gordon & Rees, these are but a mere few of the thousands of such crimes committed by them. Contact me directly to be provided the filing against one employer, all facts and documents regarding the crimes committed during and after the second matter. alltruewords@yahoo.com - CRIMEWHISTLE@protonmail.com

The firm presents a collaborative culture instead of a competitive culture, which is too often the vibe at other firms. There has never been a day I dreaded going to work, something I cannot say about my other firm experiences.ConsNone. The firm presents a fair balance between lifestyle and compensation — and allows the individual to determine his or her position on that spectrum.

What did you not like about this institution?
I recently applied for a Paralegal job at Gordon Rees Scully Mansukhani in their New York City office. I went through multiple rounds of interviews. I spoke with a Partner, a Practice Group Manager, and an Office Administrator. I received an offer letter for the Paralegal job. During the interview process, I was told that the job would be hybrid (working some days a week in the office and some days at home). After I received the offer letter, I made it clear that I would love to work at GRSM, and that I would love to work hybrid. As part of my due diligence as a potential employee, I respectfully asked if the job could be remote (no days in the office). I made it very clear that I wanted to work hybrid, but I just wanted to check to see if there was any chance that I could work remote. A few days later, GRSM responded, and told me that they were withdrawing the offer. They told me that they wanted someone who could work in the office hybrid. They also told me that they wanted someone with more experience. I respectfully responded, and I made it clear that I would able to work in the office hybrid, and that I was just doing my due diligence as a potential employee. I told them that I would love to accept their original offer letter. They responded again, and reiterated that they wanted someone who could work in the office hybrid, and that they wanted someone with more experience. I respectfully responded again, and I made it clear that I would be able to work in the office hybrid. They did not provide any further clarity about why they withdrew the offer. I don't understand what I did wrong. I was just asking about the in-office policy as part of my due diligence as a potential employee. The fact that they originally offered me the Paralegal job shows that they were not looking for someone with more experience. This situation is incredibly disappointing. I would have loved to work here. But if this is how GRSM responds to one simple question that was asked respectfully, what does that say about them? I do not recommend Gordon Rees Scully Mansukhani.
