What is the highest level of an attorney's family?

Answer 1

There generally exists a hierarchy in most law firms. Support staff are people who work in law firms but do not have law degrees. These people may be persons who handle billing such Accountants, computer specialists, fact finders/researchers, or student volunteers. Legal assistants are persons who may be trained in law but who are not licensed to practice. These may include law students, paralegals, legal secretaries, and law clerks. Next, would be the attorneys who, of course, are licensed to practice law. They may be ranked according to years of experience, number of cases successfully litigated, or how the number of hours billed each month (e.g., profit the attorney brings to the firm). Associates generally have less experience than Partners. Partners get a percent in all cases successfully litigated from associates.
