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 […]
I was reading the newspaper last week (gasp! Yes, I still get one) and there was an article entitled, ‘Average Time Employees Stay At Job is 4.4 years.’ The median number of years that workers have stayed with their current employer went up to 4.4 years in January 2010, from 4.1 years in January 2008, […]
Lately, I have been amazed at how much I simply don’t trust anything I hear anymore and very little of what I read. This society we live in has left me so jaded in many ways because at every turn corporations and politicians have, like water dripping on a stone over time, eroded our confidence […]

Complacency and arrogance produce blind spots that delay a response and leave incumbents vulnerable. I was reading a recent McKinsey report which I wanted to share with you in part because it is totally applicable to Big Law/Organizations and Solos. And if you really think about it, it’s playing out as we speak. You connect […]
This is the age old question and my friend, Chuck Newton, addresses it in his new post, “Why Do Not More Young Lawyers Start Their Own Law Practices.” Yes, coming from me this may sound like a promotion for Solo Practice University. But it’s not. Chuck has no skin in the game. He has no […]
There was an interesting study conducted relating to income and one’s ability to say, “I’m sorry.” It showed those who are more inclined to apologize for behaviors when at fault were more likely to earn more income. When Zogby’s researchers queried 7,590 Americans, both male and female, they discovered that people who are more willing […]
Do you have a strategy for handling the ‘Great Consult’ that doesn’t call you back?
You just had a great consult with a potential client you’d really like to work with. You shake hands, let them know the retainer will be sent to them shortly and you are full of anticipation. You did a great job. Best consult ever. Once the retainer agreement goes out you know it will be coming back with the retainer check in just a few more days……
