As law firms go, this is considered a smallish to mid-size firm, and the
manager has no supervisory responsibilities. Working as a solo can work
either for you or against you in terms of salary increases, but my
argument would be that you deserve to be at the high end of your range
because you do all the work. Again, in my experience (which is
anecdotal and not scientific), the range is appropriate but a base
salary below $60K for the specific employment environment you describe
would be too low. Anything above $70K would be considered very good.

The firm has two offices and 55 attorneys. There are 10 paralegals and
60 support staff. The Records Manager is responsible for both offices
and has no assistant. I should have been more specific in my original
request. Thank you to those who have responded to my e-mail.

I disagree with Steve, with respect to specific industry salaries. The
salary range Sharon posted may be 20K to 30K too low in Raleigh for
corporate records managers but not for private law firm records
managers. Important variables, though, would be the size of the law
firm, how many offices managed, and how many direct reports. The higher
these numbers, the more towards the high end of the range the salary
should be. However, from my research into law firm salaries in various
parts of the country, $71,000 would not be significantly under market
for the Southeast, except perhaps for major metropolitan areas such as
Atlanta and Miami.
