There are so many articles and presentations out there on the topic of social media for lawyers. However, most of the content you come across is about how to create a Facebook Business Page. I am going to assume that you can figure this out on your own or have read a tutorial on it […]
In September I attended the Clio Conference with Solo Practice University faculty member, Suzanne Meehle. We went in two days early to walk Chicago and walk we did! We must have put in fourteen or fifteen hours pounding the pavement and loving every minute of it. During that time she developed a nasty blister on […]
The past few weeks, my phone has not stopped ringing. I mean that almost literally. It has been hard for my staff to get work done, we’ve had so many calls.

In this piece, I will zero in on the argot–the legalese–used by lawyers in drafting wills and trusts and related documents. I do this because estate planning and […]
I can’t tell you how often I am asked, ‘How do I set my fees?’ Setting fees for your legal services is a two-fold proposition. It isn’t just learning what the going rate for legal services is and positioning yourself within a reasonable range based upon your experience. It isn’t just about pricing based upon […]
I am a big fan of monthly retainers. For six months to a year (depending on what was agreed to in our engagement letter) my firm is guaranteed income from that client. In exchange, that client is guaranteed whatever services it needs from our firm up to but not including litigation services. Need us for […]
Technology has given rise to opportunities to expand legal services businesses globally – all without ever leaving the office. And, as solos know, it is no longer just for Big Law.
