In this guest episode of the Paralegals on Fire! Podcast Show, Ann Pearson talks with Molly McGrath of Hiring and Empowering Solutions about hiring and retention trends in the legal industry. Don’t miss Molly’s “blunt compassionate” style of straight talk because she sees both sides. As a paralegal, attorney, or manager – have you really listened to the other side?
