Solo Out of Law School

As most know, I’ve been a solo attorney for some time now, and building my own practice has no doubt been immensely challenging but also tremendously rewarding. I’ve learned more about myself through this journey than I ever envisioned. And, going into business for myself has really opened my eyes to what it takes to succeed in building something sustainable from the ground up.

There are plenty of books out there about the technical aspects of opening a law practice. But, it was always a challenge for me to find resources that took a more pragmatic approach to building one.

So, over the past two years, I decided I’d write one.

For my legal-friends, it's not a "how to" guide to starting a law practice. It doesn't say anything about the tools you'll need or whether to open a brick and mortar office. Rather, it's a "how can" guide to developing the mental toughness and right mindset to succeed as a solo attorney. It's a collection of little lessons and simple reminders for when your choice to go solo in the first place come into doubt. And, for my non-legal entrepreneurial minded friends, I think you may find that the lessons I learned in my journey are transferable to any industry or pursuit.

Anyways, it's available on Amazon in Kindle format and in paperback. And, I'd obviously love if you decided to buy a copy. If you do read it, I’d really appreciate if you let me know what you thought and let others know as well by posting a review (even if it’s not great, I appreciate your honest critique!). And, if you know any law students or lawyers that are thinking about hanging out their own shingles, I’d appreciate if you shared it with them.
