Solo commercial lit attorney. Burned out. Definitely don't want to go back to a firm or in-house (even if it was an option).

Need to make at least $200k per year. Any options or am I fucked for life?

Ruled out law, yes. I want to get out completely.

Sick of arguing and being detail oriented and sitting alone in a room for hours reading documents. Coding seems like the same thing minus arguing, so I don't think it's for me.

I want to get out of the office and talk to people and be social again. Some kind of business development maybe.

Yeah those jerbs exist but the ones that pay $200K or more are generally not offered to burned out self-employed litigators grasping for a career change.

Remove the salary requirement and you might have something to work with here (that could be a path to $200K or better in idk 5 years?)

But if you won’t consider anything less, better fall back in love with litigating and fast. I meant you’ve ruled out everything that’s an actual possibility for you in my earlier post.

Most important part of being a solo is doing constant business development so it's not a completely unrelated skillset.

Suck dick, maybe?

At your age, you probably won't be able to demand depending on where you live.

There is nothing else you can do with your age & skillset that commands $200k a year.

Either lower your expectations or learn to deepthroat.

I'm basically in the same boat. My plan is either to make enough money to someday stop working, or collect on that disability or death insurance policy. I don't see how there's any other options here.

It's not all that depressing, my firm is doing well, realistically I can keep this up for about another 15 or so years that should probably do it. It is an awful grind though and I wish I didn't have to do it

You are both describing my life, too.

Over the holidays I had a difficult former client (small business) get a demand letter for some stupid shit they did and they just told the plaintiff's attorney to "send it to quotemo, he's my attorney" even though I'm not and have no interest in taking this case. Of course the plaintiff's attorney started hounding me while I wasted time reminding the client that I'm not their attorney for this.

I think you have a good thing going and should probably appreciate it. Why not work a little less and be social outside of work

You're probably right. It's just depressing to think I've wasted years and years of my life doing a job that has been so unsatisfying.

All jobs suck. Very few exceptions. I think it's better to live our UMC life with a shit job than to be poor.

What you really ought to do instead of scrambling for some entry level sales job is to invest in a business and find people to run it.

I don't see how solo or small firm life is better unless you are a CSLG type who is literally making millions.

With or without a boss you have the stress of litigation and demands of servicing clients.

-No boss

-No fake emergencies created by your own team

-Ability to decline cases you know will be more stress than they're worth

-You don't have to litigate. I was a litmo and got out of it. Last year I billed ~1000 hours drafting contracts and reviewing the kind of stuff I've reviewed hundreds of times before and took home $350k after expenses. Beats the shit out of being at a firm.

Yeah. Westlaw's Practical Law and Lexis Practical Guidance or whatever it's called are very helpful. For stuff I didn't think I could competently figure out at first, I hired contract attorneys and eventually learned how to do what they did.

I got pretty good at developing a social media presence and getting speaking engagements. All my clients come through that.

I think Practical law is like $350/mo for solos.

can you explain more. that seems nuts that you went from litigation to a contracts drafting expert as a solo with 'social media presence.' like explain more details of how this works.

Left biglaw with ultimate goal of getting out of lit eventually.

Year 1: Still doing lit - a few very small referrals from a friend to get me started, grinding out a year of litigating at ~$250/hr rate. Start writing articles about the area of compliance/consulting/tranny stuff I want to focus on. Get invited to speak at a conference related to that area. Start social media pages. Don't make much money.

Year 2: Still about 80% lit, one solid referral from old firm kept me afloat, but they were psychotic to work for. Rate up to $300. Have a few transactional clients that I use a contract attorney to do all the heavy lifting for. Learning the ropes so to speak. Focus on posting daily social media content related to that practice area. Get lucky that stuff gets reshared by a few big accounts. Net $320k.

Year 3: Maybe about 50% lit now. I understand how to do the "greatest hits" contracts in my practice area that I see over and over again. Use contract attorneys for stuff I don't feel like I can competently figure out. Get better at figuring out what social content gets more reach and engagement. Net $415k thanks to a few lit cases going the right way.

Year 4: Wrap up final lit case. Social/online presence continues to grow and keeps the pipeline full. Rate at $500. Landed some big clients that keep me busy every month. Refer everything lit-related out. Net $350k.

This year: Off to a good start, made $15k so far since Jan 1.

Thats 180 and inspiring , thanks for the response. I am doing something very similar as I just left biglaw as a litigator too and getting into an area now as a solo that i previously had little interaction with

would love to know for the social media stuff if you have any resources that you found really great in helping you out
