It's funny how the culture of law firms differ. I've practiced since 1994 and IMO, if you do quality work, keep the clients happy and are profitable, then no one should have anything to say . . .
What did you mean by this: "Luckily I got out of my current firm without lawsuits being filed or bar complaints back and forth. It was touch and go for a week on that though."
Someone once told me that a man without a hobby is a very boring man. Work should not elininate your hobbies if possible. Best wishes on your new position.
