Additional Information
- We occupy a 2,000 square ft. bright and open office in Squirrel Hill. We all work in the office several days/week, but also work from home when not in the office.
- We are a paperless office, so the attorney should be comfortable working in this type of environment.
- The firm does not have administrative assistants, and therefore, the attorney should feel comfortable doing a little bit of everything (i.e., we all take turns taking out the trash)
- This is not your typical law firm. We all work very hard, and things can get hectic, but there is no billable hour requirement or expectation. Instead, we expect our lawyers to do great work, provide the best service to our clients, be highly responsive, and enjoy life outside of work.
