(This post is not for the faint of heart.) Last week I posted that I had SO much to say that it literally rendered me incapable of posting anything. And my friend, Jack Newton posted a 2011 Prognostication Roundup on Slaw. It was very lawyer/law firm-centric. My thoughts, however, were elsewhere. What is happening to […]
(This is a bit lengthy so read when you have a few moments). I recently watched Bernanke on 60 minutes and after all the gloss and political correctness he said two things which struck me. First he made it very clear we are in for a rough ride the next four to five years and […]
Coming of Age In A New Economy Much has been made about the dire employment conditions in the legal field today. Big Law doesn’t seem to be an option for the class of 2011 as we are firmly entrenched in what some legal commentators are calling the “Lost Generation”. With hiring down and pink slips […]
Time waits for no solo to get his or her act together. And this economy and today’s D-I-Y consumers will steamroll over anyone who doesn’t give them what they need at the price they can afford. The internet has forever changed the way we do business by providing quality research and choice at the tip […]
I’ve been meaning to write about charity and the legal profession for a quite awhile. First, let me say there are countless professionals, professional organizations and everyday people who give charitably, generously, often anonymously to benefit others. There is no right or wrong way to give – it is entirely personal. It is also why […]
Last Monday I posted this question and received a lot of comments on this blog and privately. It struck a nerve because we’ve all been there. Some of us have a finely honed sense of the ‘right’ client and can decline business easily. Yet others are still feeling their way through this process. And yet […]
With a H/T to Debra Feinberg I’ve discovered Squareup, an application which allows you to convert your smart phone into a credit card swiping machine to accept payments which then go directly to your account…sort of. All I kept thinking of was how ideal for the solo practitioner, or the lawyer who gets tagged at […]

I was a way for a few days getting some much needed R&R this past week and as is typical I experienced a business lesson which translates to solo practice. It is a pet peeve of mine – being nickel and dimed to death. My husband and I were on our way home and decided […]
(H/T) to Slaw for directing us to a find by Jim Calloway. The Pincus Family Law Firm has posted a Client Expectations Manifesto on their website. The assumption is this was done to ward off clients who would be unrealistic about the lawyer’s time or the lawyer’s infallibility before the client even consults with the […]
