Pros

For this company, there are none. I am a generally positive person and can often find the bright side of any situation. I even made myself wait 6 months after leaving this miserable place before writing this review in hopes that I could think of something. Nope. THERE ARE NONE.

Cons

Every aspect of this company is miserable. Managing partners are miserable, greedy people, who are paid far too much and take advantage of new attorneys to line their pockets while they pay them nothing to do all their work. They make no effort to hide the opinion that the employees are expendable and can be easily replaced. To the point that it is said in meetings that are intended to promote morale. Upper management attorneys treat those under them with extreme disrespect. Constantly reprimanding, yelling (literally) and demeaning them. They in turn, do the same to those that work beneath them. The disgusting culture perpetuates itself over and over and has engulfed every corner of the firm. The entire place is void of appreciation and respect for others.

Brayton Purcell Response

We are sorry to hear that you had a negative experience at Brayton Purcell. Not only have we been helping victims of asbestos exposure for 30 years, but we also have been giving new attorneys litigation and courtroom experience that they would not find elsewhere. We are a fast-paced, intense practice that is not for everyone. We are demanding of our associates, but do not ask more of them than the partners and senior attorneys put into their work. Our salary structure is also commensurate with Marin and Sonoma law practices.
