Best Orlando Med Mal Firms Forum

If this isn't an anon post by that medmal guy with the inflated ego from the house buying thread, I will be disappointed.

OP here. Sorry to disappoint. That’s a great idea, what are housing costs like for James mal associates? I guess that goes hand in hand with pay. Are any houses “on the water”???

Be disappointed. Housing costs? Depends on whether you want to be downtown or in the suburbs. A medmal associate can afford a 2BR with views, a pool, and a gym downtown. In the suburbs, there are new construction starter homes at 300-500k. If you want to be in Windermere or Winter Park where most successful attorneys in the area live then you generally need to be a partner or a solo. To get anything decent it will be about 1.5 million. There are less desirable parts of both towns but you might as well stay downtown at that point.

On the water? Many, my friend. And obtainable on an associate’s salary if you are willing to make a 45 minute commute.

You only have 1 life, do you really want to spend it in Central Florida?

Bed-Stuy walk-up fourth floor in a rough neighborhood for 3,500 a month after going through law school and working big firm associate hours? Pass. Life is too short.

Edited because people construed this as doxxing, which was not the intent. Apologies.

I mean I’ve been infuriated by some of this guy’s comments as well but trying to doxx him isn’t a good look.

To get this thread back on track, here's a list of the "Top Rated Medical Malpractice Lawyers in Orlando, FL." I couldn't find a way to filter to only attorneys whose law schools have been shut down by the ABA, however, so query how reputable this list is.

Please do not do this. This is creepy.

"Infuriated" is a strong reaction to an anonymous internet poster who has not said anything vitriolic.

Renovated top floor duplex with office and private roof space? That’s actually a way nicer apartment than most junior associates live in.

While I take your point on NYC rents severely limiting the appeal of biglaw, given that most biglaw jobs are here in the city, I don’t know why you’re comparing it to a 25 million dollar mansion in Orlando. You can get a sweet place in Manhattan for 25 million, too.

Many junior associates cannot afford 3500 a month in rent due to student loans, taxes, and other expenses. So this is on the high side and it is still in a rough area with a bad commute. Not too many people entering white collar professions dream of Bed-Stuy and all its warts.

My point in posting the mansion is that there are towns outside of Orlando and neighborhoods within the city limits that blow away many parts of Manhattan and the five boroughs in every regard.

^For well under $3500 you can be in the center of Orlando's action with views, a dog park, a 24 hour gym, parking, palm tree landscaping, sleek new construction, doorman, and a pool. Additionally, two of those employees on the management team are easy on the eyes! If all of this appeals to you, I am still taking resumes without identifying information and we can go from there.

In terms of space, amenities, and newness for the $$$, Orlando rentals are definitely a better deal. For most folks, the issue is job opportunities. Clearly you started a successful business and became wealthy, but most folks are risk-averse and following the job opportunities.

A secondary issue is that, since the barrier to entry to luxury rental buildings in non-NYC non-SF cities is much lower, there are many undesirable tenants and lots of partying that can make them less pleasant to live in. Most professionals will be home owners in non-NYC non-SF cities, so you won't primarily live amongst comparable professionals in these buildings.

These are reasonable objections, thank you. You are right, there are not a ton of jobs for entry-level office work compared to NY or SF, even on a per capita basis. Aside from tourism, there is a decent amount of manufacturing/tech/Darden Restaurants HQ/real estate. Of course, any major city has a sizable healthcare presence. Housing is getting a lot more expensive so the rental value proposition I laid out may not exist in 5 years.

Good point on "undesirable tenants" (I would skate with caution here and assume you are saying what you mean). There will be more parties and noise than your West Village walk-up studio. I guess you just need your ear to the ground to see what buildings are well-run and attract a hygienic clientele.

Bed-Stuy walk-up fourth floor in a rough neighborhood for 3,500 a month after going through law school and working big firm associate hours? Pass. Life is too short.

Renovated top floor duplex with office and private roof space? That’s actually a way nicer apartment than most junior associates live in.

While I take your point on NYC rents severely limiting the appeal of biglaw, given that most biglaw jobs are here in the city, I don’t know why you’re comparing it to a 25 million dollar mansion in Orlando. You can get a sweet place in Manhattan for 25 million, too.

Many junior associates cannot afford 3500 a month in rent due to student loans, taxes, and other expenses. So this is on the high side and it is still in a rough area with a bad commute. Not too many people entering white collar professions dream of Bed-Stuy and all its warts.

My point in posting the mansion is that there are towns outside of Orlando and neighborhoods within the city limits that blow away many parts of Manhattan and the five boroughs in every regard.

^For well under $3500 you can be in the center of Orlando's action with views, a dog park, a 24 hour gym, parking, palm tree landscaping, sleek new construction, doorman, and a pool. Additionally, two of those employees on the management team are easy on the eyes! If all of this appeals to you, I am still taking resumes without identifying information and we can go from there.

Um, who were you referring to?

Alright Johnny, you're getting a bit racist now.

I have no interest in arguing with this dude again, but it is objectively hilarious that the photo choice highlighting the "Central Downtown Location" of the apartment building he posted is a highway interchange.

Imagine paying $3,500 a month to live in Orlando haha. I pay less than 3 grand a month for a 1 bedroom in a building in downtown Manhattan with incredible amenities, including a resident only speakeasy. If you live in Orlando you should be paying as little as possible and saving up to move to a real city.
