Anon, I feel for you. If you continue doing what you're doing, it's highly likely nothing will change, and your stress levels will continue to rise and affect other parts of your life too. So what options exist for you right now? Can you stop at the point the attorney stuff kicks in? Is there other senior staff/legal partner or attorney to ask for advice? Any HR department? Is there a law society or attorney body who might be very interested to see clients are not getting the benefit of professional legal advice/output (as you say, this is not what you are trained in). What is the worst that can happen if you stop doing the attorney's work? You may be thinking of the client, which would be great if it were your business but if things fall through the cracks who will suffer? I'm not advocating any action or inaction that could jeopardise your job if you can't afford to be out of work. Covering your arse is always a good thing - sending emails asking for him/her to draft, prepare, check what work you've done. Copying in a fellow attorney or business partner (and explain to any partner why you are doing it) might get some acknowledgement and action from that other partner. If a solo practice, maybe you have an urgent personal appointment or family commitment every night after work that means you have to leave on time. No extra hours. If you were unwell or on leave, what would this attorney do then? Good luck with finding a new job.
