Everyone Has a Story. What’s Yours?

May 9, 2013 in Guest Bloggers

Everyone Has A Story As rezoomers we are often reticent to tell ‘our stories’. Why didn’t we practice law? Why did we practice and leave? Was it that we couldn’t find a job or we found a job in another sector?  Did we stay at home to raise a family?  Did the road we chose just take [...]

Drowning in Paper?

Apr 4, 2013 in Guest Bloggers

I keep every scrap of paper I have generated over the past 2.5 years of rezooming my solo practice. Literally! If you are one of those uber-efficient people who read and toss, stop reading this post now.  What I have to say does not apply to you. You’re already liberated. However, I have every article [...]

We the People

Mar 7, 2013 in Guest Bloggers

As rezoomers, putting yourself out there and announcing your re-entry into the legal profession is imperative. It amazes me where my rezooming journey takes me, who I meet along the way and what made me go there. Often I find my most lasting connections come from events with the least likely potential and are simply [...]

ReZooming Solos Need to ‘Walk the Talk’

Dec 6, 2012 in Guest Bloggers

Please accept my apologies for writing a little late this month, a side effect of Sandy and Athena. Needless to say, I was first a wifi vagabond and then knee deep in snow. Those two women were very difficult to deal with here in Northern Westchester! Before the storms hit, I attended the ABA Law [...]

Taking That Giant Step

Sep 13, 2012 in Guest Bloggers

Recently I was waiting for my youngest son to finish his Math and English placement tests at our local community college. He completed 3/4′s of his first year of college.

Allies and Mentors and Masterminds…Oh My!

Aug 9, 2012 in Guest Bloggers, Solo & Small Firm Practice

As a solo rezoomer you need to acquire a strong base from which to launch. You need to define a network of Allies, Mentors [...]
