I have a confession. I have a crush. I have a crush on a company. Is that possible? Yes, it is. We were very fortunate to come out of hurricane Sandy virtually unscathed. As many of you experienced, are experiencing, or heard, this was a monster storm which has caused upwards of untold billions in damages […]
Hurricane Sandy has taught us a lot about the role of social media. Yes, we heard how in another country it helped foment a revolution. One person’s query on Twitter tipped the world off that the assault on Bin Laden’s compound was in process. One person’s Facebook post that he’d been arrested in a foreign country got him help from the […]
This past week I was in New York City for a few days. While I was there, I got to check out a great exhibit at the Guggenheim, called Picasso Black and White (if you are in New York, I recommend that you see it). I have always been a fan of Picasso, especially after […]
“You get in life what you have the courage to ask for.” ― Oprah Winfrey I’ve written before about the Grown Ass Woman Brigade, a charity/women’s organization that my friend Heather Lam and I started a while back. You might have noticed that the name of the group is a little… well, audacious. We are […]
I’ve recently been investigating legal malpractice policies for something I’m working on.

This post is not for the faint of heart. Nor is it a political post. It is a cold hard look at statistical data (which I’m sure you can supplement anecdotally) on what is happening to wages in this country. And what a (potential) client earns directly impacts the route they will take to address […]
Years ago at an early morning meeting Jimmy Brill, a veteran estate planning lawyer and the founder of Solos Supporting Solos, asked each of 30 lawyers to introduce themselves and their practices. I didn’t know any of them, and they all faded into a blur, except for one tall gentleman in a straw hat and […]
Last week, I was at a great networking event in the Boston area. The people who attended were my ideal clients. Everyone I met was engaging and genuinely interested to learn about the other people in the room. The food was fantastic. I was really enjoying the event until ‘The Naysayer’ showed up. Within 30 […]
This post was written by Barry Seidel. Barry Seidel opened his own practice right out of law school in 1982, after reading “How to Go Directly Into Solo Law Practice, Without Missing a Meal”. His practice has evolved over the years, currently focusing in the areas of probate and estate administration. He enjoys writing and […]
Last week I was very blessed to see and meet and even hang out with some of my heroes at the Pennsylvania Conference for Women. Among them are Arianna Huffington, Victoria Pynchon, Barbara Bradley, Alison Monahan, Judy Young and of course SPU’s own Susan Cartier Liebel. These women are icons in the business and legal […]
