This post might be a story about preserving client property. It could be about spoliation of evidence or the importance of communicating with staff. Or, it might not have any lesson at all and I’m sharing just because it is my favorite claims story. An office refrigerator-freezer can be a scary place. Moldy leftovers, stolen […]
This is the third piece in the Social Media For Lawyers series. For reference, here are the articles on Facebook and LinkedIn. “How could something that limits you to 140 characters be valuable to my career?” “I use Linkedin already so what more could Twitter provide me with?” These are no doubt the questions that […]

Last night, as the latest breaking news and everyone’s opinion on it filled up my Twitter and Facebook feeds, I ran across this post from a friend of mine from law school: “Congrats to everyone who graduated from University of Facebook School of Law last night…..” … and LOLed so hard I almost spit out […]
So, you’re a solo and your practice is growing. But, not so much that you can afford to hire a full fledged associate to help with the work overload. You don’t want to turn down work, because you need the revenue, but you don’t want to take on more work than you can handle by […]
I continue to be surprised at the number of times I have visited a solo practice and found that complete oversight of client property has been turned over to an employee. More often than not, this individual has been employed by the attorney for years and is always viewed as someone worthy of a high […]
As we wrap up 2014, have you moved forward on your plans to rezoom the practice of law? Well, what are you waiting for? Move forward and regain your career. It is your choice and your choice alone. As I was thinking about this month’s New Year’s column, I came across a quote I thought […]
