Entry Level/Lateral Attorneys: Testimonials

"The summer associate program at Baker Manock allows you to get to know the people here at the firm. I felt really welcomed and at home here, and that made the decision to come and work at Baker Manock & Jensen easy.

As an associate, the firm lets you discover what you like to practice. The variety of work has given me experience in areas I may not otherwise have been exposed to.

BMJ's reputation precedes itself, and is outstanding in its quality of legal defense. I feel like I automatically get a level of respect because I am with the firm.

The firm also recognizes the importance of marketing efforts and participation in community events and organizations - I have been really impressed with the huge amount of community service our attorneys participate in."

"The summer associate program gave me a realistic idea of what it would be like to practice here as an associate. Now, as an associate, I have been given the freedom to develop my practice in the areas I enjoy.

Exposure to a variety of practice areas, including civil and criminal litigation, has given me a fuller perspective of the issues involved in business transactions.

Fortunately, many of the shareholders approach summer associate and new associates as mentees, and take the time to sit down, talk through the facts, and provide feedback throughout the project.

The billable hours here are reasonable compared to other large firms, which has allowed me to have a life outside of the office."
