Hamilton, Miller & Birthisel Reviews

lack of consistent management style, whims of male managing partner decided all matters, dictatorial at times, inadequate compensation and benefits, lack of communication within office and between the two florida offices (the only actual offices despite what is on the website).

I don't understand this firm. It's a minority firm which at first, I thought was admirable, but then I got to know the firm. They hire people that have little or no experience. There is only an hour or two of training, if any. The people that train - their "knowledge administrator" has no knowledge and is not an administrator. There is an very unequal distribution of work among paralegals/legal assistants. If you are loyal & work hard, instead of being rewarded, your given more work, to make up for the attorney favorites who suck up. I was 1 paralegal handling 45 cases, which is ridiculous. Most days I would receive at a minimum 150 emails - most of which required something to be done. Or it was one of the attorneys complaining something wasn't done. The attorneys that work there are also a lower caliber attorney. All they ever do is push emails and work off to someone else and always in a very negative manner. There was never any positivity. Everything was always negative. It is an extremely stressful place to work. Too much is expected from any one person. If you say something you are immediately blacklisted. The firm is a revolving door due to how poorly they treat the staff. they don't like OT, but you can't do the job without it.
