Daley & Heft Reviews

The attorneys at Daley & Heft provide invaluable training, support, and hands-on experience. The Associates are assigned a generous case-load, which permits variety of work, exposure to different legal issues, and enables the billable requirement to easily be met. The firm works with its Associates to ensure they are not overwhelmed by the case-load, and they offer tremendous flexibility to ensure work-life balance. Additionally, they generously compensate for business Associates bring to the firm, much more so than other firms, in my experience. Of course, you are accountable to your court calendar, which is standard in civil litigation. The support staff is also wonderful to work with. I am surprised by the prior review. While it was expected that emails be printed, this was to ensure the files were complete. Further, requiring Associates to print all correspondence does not support the allegation that partners lie to their clients; quite to the contrary, the partners want to maintain a clear record of communication with all parties (hence printing emails for the file).

Partners don't pay attention to their cases so associates get a lot of good experience, because they're doing literally everything on every one of their cases.
