Pros

-You get to add legal assistant to your resume -You get a standing desk -The other employees are very nice and are fun to suffer with -If you have legal assisting experience, don't even give this place a second glance, you're already over qualified. -Literally nothing else Nyman Turkish has very little to offer you, especially in terms of pay, benefits, holidays, and how management treats you. The only reason I could possibly tell you to apply to this company is if you want to put legal assistant on your resume, and then leave after a year. For those who have some legal assisting experience, the good news is you shouldn't even think of applying here. This isn't a real legal assisting job, and you'd be better off working for a different firm elsewhere. All they want from you is filling out the social security forms, or be a call center employee. No actual legal work is done by the assistants, even the paralegal left because he didn't have much to do

Cons

-The pay is poor -The benefits are meh at best -The job is calling people to try and convince them to apply for disability and use the attorney's services, or fill out an application. So all you do is practically cold call people, and most often get verbally berated by them for hours. -The same 3 people get the weekly bonuses -The attorney's do not care for you - You are not a legal assistant, you are a customer rep/call center employee -Jason is more than happy to yell at you and/or cuss you out in front of other employees. He has little to no regard for decency towards his employees, and the Nymans will bend over backwards letting him do whatever he likes. Honestly the list goes on and on here. Nyman Turkish will do anything to make you feel like you're a legal assistant, except pay you more, listen to your ideas/suggestions, or offer better benefits. They'll get standing desks, patio furniture, TV's in break rooms that are never used, but will do whatever they can to avoid paying you a fair wage for legal assistants. Nyman Turkish also has a time on phones quota, and if you're not on the phone making calls 7-7.5 hours out of 8, then one of the unqualified managers will call you in and tell you you're underperforming. you're offered these bonuses as well, for most time on phone, most sign ups, etc. But those are always won by the same 3 people. So there's no point in trying for those quotas, but if you're not trying then you're "underperforming". Overall, Nyman Turkish is a pretty crappy place to work

Pros

Will make you wish you didn’t work here

Cons

This firm has zero culture, the lawyers praise themselves by saying they are compassionate to their clients but will not care a penny about you in reality. HR will give you attitude for free, they never answer your questions and will tell you to read the handbook instead of just replying to the message. The partners are money and business driven, definitely don’t expect respect nor appreciation. As a former employee I will say, the firm forced us to work through hurricanes, the office building was flooded after the hurricane leaving us without AC and no elevators, we had to climb 7 flights of stairs daily for about 3weeks, we also had a fire inside the parking garage which left some of my coworkers without a car yet we were expected to show up to work. In conclusion, I do not recommend working here unless you’re ready to start taking mental health meds.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We take every employee's experience seriously, and we remain committed to the supportive, professional environment we work to maintain across the firm. The safety and well-being of our team is always a top priority, including during events like severe weather and other situations affecting access to our facilities. When circumstances like these arise, we work to make appropriate accommodations and to address safety concerns for our employees as quickly as possible. Many of the clients we represent are facing serious, often terminal, illnesses, and delays in their cases can carry real consequences for them and their families. We are mindful of our responsibility to support our team while continuing to serve clients who depend on us to keep their cases moving. We are committed to an environment where employees can raise questions, receive timely answers, and feel supported by HR and leadership. Our firm's mission is rooted in helping clients navigate a difficult process, and we extend that same care and commitment to our team. We're proud of the employees who have grown with us into leadership roles, and we offer a comprehensive benefits package, generous time off, and strong retirement options as part of that commitment. We appreciate you sharing your perspective and wish you well in your future endeavors.
