Pros

I like the action of the firm. Many complex and contested cases, which are ever changing. Pace is fast, but I enjoy litigation and I am starting to get some trial experience. The support staff is very helpful and knows what they are doing.

Cons

Learning curve is a little hard but with some experience I started to get better. Hourly billing requirement is not easy.

Pros

I absolutely loved my time as the office manager for The Halks Firm. The team is incredibly supportive and the work environment is lively and often extremely entertaining. Attorney Halks, his associate attorneys, paralegal, and interns (during the summer), were all smart, funny, and hardworking. The office has a supportive and collaborative atmosphere and I felt like I was part of a family there. I'm proud to have been a part of The Halks Firm and miss them all very much!

Cons

Attorney Halks primarily deals very contentious bitterly fought custody / divorce matters. So be prepared to deal with upset clients going through the worst time in their lives. These type of clients often do not have patience or respect for the slow pace of litigation.

Pros

Attorney Nicholas Halks is a great employer who respects his employees and encourages their successes. Attorney Halks instantly welcomed me in and made me feel apart of the team. After only a short time, the whole firm had felt like family. The attorneys are great to work with and I couldn’t imagine better coworkers! They are all funny, witty, and an overall pleasant group of people to be around.

Cons

I jumped into a whole new world that I had never been exposed to upon arrival. Everything in the office moved quickly and a lot of terms were thrown around quickly. I had gone in ready to take on what they had asked of me (and it was a lot, but nothing I couldn’t handle). I made mistakes but the firm was always understanding and helpful about it — always trying to improve me. This firm is highly respected and attention to detail is important if it is to maintain a highly respected firm. If you want a job where you can sit around all day, don’t apply here. But if you want a job where you have the opportunity to build your career and work up the ladder, work here. There is always room for improvement here. It is a great place to work nonetheless.
