Samuel Christensen Law Firm Reviews

A truly, deeply noxious work environment. Management is extremely manipulative and passive aggressive, and they regularly bad mouth employees to their coworkers. Everyone is overworked, underpaid, and under-appreciated. Working here had serious effects on my mental and physical health (yes, seriously).

I found this firm on Indeed advertising an open Immigration Paralegal/Writer position. After 2 interviews and a writing assessment, I was told that I was hired and given assignments. I turned in my assignments on time and actively pursued training relative to the feedback I was given. I also want to note that this feedback included multiple notes regarding my capacity as a writer and the high potential for me to produce what the firm needed from me. I bring up this last note because it figured largely into the disorientation I experienced when I was fired after 9 days. The manager explained those 9 days were "a trial period," and that I had been in-office auditioning, which I would not have agreed to if explained to me in advance. I left a full-time position for this job because I was not aware I was entering a game-show-style competition. I do not understand how I managed to make it through multiple interviews, pass the office's writing assessment, and receive a great-deal of positive feedback, only to be dismissed after 9 days.
