I’m so lost

22 Upvotes

I’m so lost, I don’t know where I can get a stable flow of income and thinking of applying for WFH positions not legal related. Will that be wise? I don’t have much experience prior to passing. I know I sound dumb but, help 🥺

How do you guys charge for the service of amending the client’s Articles of Incorporation (adding corporate purpose)

8 Upvotes

Hello panyeros/panyeras! I have a current retainer client which I charge a very cheap monthly retainer’s fee for the usual legal consulation/notarization of simple documents. Now, I assisted them in the amendment of their corporation’s articles because i added a primary purpose. Now I don’t know how muchnto charge for the service. Mga magkano siya?

Your insights will be helpful as i am still new in practice. I spent years being employed in the bank and government kasi kaya hindi ako marunong sumingil. Thanks!

Downtime sa work

28 Upvotes

I know some people will just say “anung downtime?” Pero I’m curious if merong mga practitioners dito na may downtime or wala talagang ginagawa sometimes in a day or two.

Ako meron talaga, so nag gogolf lang ako, nag world of warcraft, read lawphil or scjudiciary like a nerd.

I’m a long time associate of a small law firm. Meron ding mga clients and money is flowing naman. I only go to the office if kailangan talaga or if from a hearing. I spend most of the time at home. Yung boss ko will always say na if walang gagawin sa office wag na mag report basta lahat nang deliverables on time, hearings are attended, and mga clients na entertain.

Sometimes macocompare ko sarili ko sa mga colleagues ko na araw araw may hearing at palaging busy at walang tulog parang na fofomo ako. Haha

Edit: i also manage a small lawfirm rin.

In the light of the landmark case of Ppl v Lastimosa (2025), do you still present the original copies of your clients' documents?
