Collections, small business organization and general counsel, and civil litigation

Spent 3 years cutting my teeth at a shitlaw firm in major metro. Shit comp but built solid network of contractors and attys that will send me work. Taking some clients with me (TBD, hopefully at least 5-10 that I originated). Been networking 2 years and planning to do a sprint in the first 2 months. Betting on myself and following my dreams. Roast me

you'll do great, I've literally never known anyone who went solo and "failed." If you've got even a couple clients to start with, you're well ahead of the curve.

Thanks man. Yeah my dad went solo when his firm dissolved and started from 0. I've got a lot of stories to go on. I've been very focused on getting clients to prepare for this

Keep us poasted on ur progress. I sometimes think about doing g this just for a change but I don’t think most of my skills are transferable and I’m too risk averse. Good for you for having the balls to do this.

Not sure why it took you this long if you have clients already. Thats the challenging part.
