I need to respond as well relative to my logo design perspective.
First of all, I am a communicator/psychology buff, not a designer. As such, I look at logo design from a Credidbily based years of experience. I will leave the "move this here", "color it this" comments to those more knowledgeable about these fine points of design on this forum.
I look at logos in terms of how well they communicate, and, in turn, influence. Those who have read my comments before know that I am an advocate for Credibility Based Logo Design. If a logo isn't credible, it won't influence.
So, I am like the architect who looks at the whole house. I look first if it is right style. If it is not, it is not worth commenting about moving a window here, or a door there.
Your law firm logo does not communicate the right symbology to be credibile. It must communicate what the company does --- law, or a law speciality. That says it is an "expert" in this field. Just like the principles in the firm are considered "experts" which is why one goes to them rather than a chef. Not putting down chefs, but you can see where I am going with this. The logo also needs to convey the company's trustworthiness. These are non-verbal design overtones to the content. It says if the company is cutting-edge, or stable. Design and shapes communicate these company attributes.
Great comments by all of you. We need several viewpoints on this forum. I hope my contribution is always helpful.
