This Blog's Reason For Being

The purpose of this blog is very simple: to encourage you to start your own law practice, whether right out of law school or twenty years after Big Law. 

Opening your own law practice today is not technically hard or expensive. However, it is psychologically daunting because we have been brainwashed from the minute we enter law school to believe we shouldn't and/or can't possibly do it.  And if we voice a desire to strike out on our own our closest circle acts like frogs hovering over the pit. The naysayers, however well intended, are projecting their personal fears upon you.  You need to deflect the negativity and believe in your desires and goals.

I have encouraged countless students to "hang a shingle" and they have been very successful whether right out a law school or shortly thereafter. And for those who've chosen to defect from Big Law, I have helped them escape under the barbed wire with nary a scratch. Then there are those who've already braved the frontier but aren't quite cultivating the land properly.  I've helped these Pilgrims bring in a much greater harvest.

The core reason for this blog is to excite you about becoming an entrepreneur.  And my personal promise to you is to fill this blog post after post with timely, practical, inspiring and thoughtful information from a fresh perspective.  If there are topics you would like discussed, let me know.  This is an interactive site, only effective if law students and lawyers like yourself help to create productive dialog and commentary that benefits every visitor to this site.

I look forward to sharing with you.
