Op I think it will depend a lot on if you're closer to 40 vs 25 hours. Figure out what you think your full time salary would be - Im guessing with your experience and firm type low 100 range and then reduce that amount based on the number of hours you want to work.


My secretary makes 35. We are a 9 atty office with 4 legal assistants. I have 5 yrs exp, handle my own cases, do jury trials, and have a 35 hr week billable requirement. I make $75K. Some more experienced attorneys in my firm make closer to 80-100K but they work their butts off - full time.


This is basically me but I make $80k and am considered full time.

Thank you, everyone. Even though there was a wide range of answers, I now have a ballpark to work with, which is very helpful.
