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 […]

“That was great.  I didn’t know all that was happening.” Said the coordinator of a recent panel discussion I participated in. “Really?”  I thought to myself.  “How could you not have known US patent law is changing?” So I asked, “Isn’t that why you wanted me to speak to your organization today?” Well, it turns […]

(Read Evolutions of a Solo Practice – Parts 1- 5 if you’re new to this author) And then it happened… On Monday morning, March 20, 2000, on the second floor of Queens Supreme Court, I had a heart attack.

That way it’s an actual appointment, not just a suggestion,” I said. […]

“The car defines the man.” I never really bought into that saying or others like it. I guess I’ve seen too many guys driving cars around that they thought made them look cool, but in truth made them look silly. Yes, this is a personal opinion, but I strongly suspect that my response to some […]

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 […]

I have a confession to make.  Up until last year, I was a bad networker.
