It's so true that few firms recognize or appreciate anyone but the lawyers (and not even all of them!) They might remember a gift certificate on Secretary's Day, but they never recognize the intelligence and capabilities of their support staff. The comments I've received are often chilling in how ignorant they are. If you didn't go to law school you're probably stupid and lazy is the feeling. Any wonder I'm trying to make it on my own?! Self-employment isn't easy but the boss won't talk behind my back and I can find lawyers to work with that will value their whole team. Thank you for this post Jordan!
