If you are gearing up to study again for the bar exam this next season, you are likely going through the process of determining what went wrong. And perhaps you are finding that your Multistate Bar Exam scores (the multiple choice part of the bar exam) are really bringing you down. Don’t worry; you are […]
Another day, another [insert one] cyber attack, vulnerability, hack, malware, data breach, network insecurity, or other potential compromise to one’s online safety. It’s a war zone out there, and we are the innocent bystanders. Time for the innocent bystanders to form a neighborhood watch.

When I was a solo I was also a perfectionist. I thought every piece of work I did had to be perfect, and couldn’t leave my desk until it was. I also thought this was a perfect way to run a law practice, but it was not. I was grasping for something that doesn’t exist. […]
Over the past year I have fallen in love with long-distance running. Specifically, the half marathon distance, 13.1 miles.

Recently we decided it was time to update our law firm’s branding. I say “we” because these days my firm is more than just me. We are over four-years old now, and it’s me, my paralegal/assistant, and my Of Counsel, who is my soon-to-be partner. Shannon has proven to be an extraordinarily valuable asset to […]
I love this post. It just speaks to me because it is the story of someone who didn’t know they weren’t supposed to be able to succeed because they didn’t do it the ‘right’ way, the ‘conventional’ way. It’s a story of determination and going so far past the ‘extra mile’ it’s awe-inspiring. It is […]
This month, my rezooming friends, I have chosen to write a piece of a different color. Gold to be exact. I was skimming my Facebook page when I ran across this post by a friend. She is not an attorney, rezooming or otherwise, however her post hit me as the perfect topic for this month’s […]
