Book excerpt: There are plenty of books out there about the practical aspects of opening a law practice. This book is different. Solo out of Law School is a book for both law students thinking about a solo career and attorneys looking to open their own firms. It's about mindset, motivation, and viewing your solo career with perspective that allows you to see yourself and your work as something you can be proud of. It's not a "how to" guide to starting a law practice. It doesn't say anything about the tools you'll need or whether to open a brick and mortar office. Rather, it's a "how can" guide to developing the mental toughness and right mindset to succeed as a solo attorney. It's a collection of little lessons and simple reminders for when your choice to go solo in the first place come into doubt. Solo out of Law School is about finding the strength and motivation to keep pushing. By embracing the words on its pages, my hope is that you'll realize, no matter how much you doubt yourself or second-guess your actions, you are good enough to be successful as your own boss."

Here is what lawyers are saying: "Whether you have ever considered starting your own firm or simply want to improve your practice at your existing firm (whether big or small), I urge you to purchase the book Make It Your Own Law Firm by Spencer Aronfeld, a trial attorney in Miami, Florida. I recommend you buy it not so much for the helpful advice he gives on how to develop your practice (and theres plenty of that) but more for the writing. What Spencer does, which few non-fiction writers can do, is to move you emotionally. He tells stories and puts you in the middle of them with him and makes you feel what he did. It is a unique and valuable gift for a lawyer, because ultimately we are story-tellers and we are tasked not only to affect the jurors minds but also to touch their hearts. Spencers writing style demonstrates he is the consummate story-teller and his diction and cadence and style are worth emulating. So, buy the book. Yes, it has great practice tips. But buy it because you will see what great writing is about. Clear, direct, moving and effective. Keep writing Spencer." Frank Ramos, Esquire

Download or read book Starting a Solo Law Firm 2021 Edition written by Attorney Robert Schaller and published by Attorney Robert Schaller. This book was released on 2021-01-14 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Attorney Robert Schaller and the Schaller Law Firm offer young lawyers in Starting a Law Firm in 2020-2021 a must-have desk reference book for building a law firm. Lawyers should invest in their future! Young lawyers worked hard in college and again in law school. Now it is time to reap the rewards of the intensive legal training. Earn the profits deserved. Develop pride and earn respect from your peers. Any lawyer who possesses a heartfelt desire to build a respected legal career, along with the vision and drive to succeed, should read and embrace the steps set forth in this book. This book is dedicated to the young lawyers who are unfulfilled working as associates for other lawyers or who recently graduated from law school with the courage to “hang out a shingle” and start their own law firm. This book provides concrete guidance about issues the author wished someone had taught him before he started his own law firm. Some lawyers have the courage to open a solo-practice law firm. Other lawyers start a law firm with one or two other lawyers they know and trust. There is strength in numbers. It is appealing to young lawyers in particular to have a law school classmate or fellow associate nearby for support. Others establish an “affiliation” with an existing firm. Sometimes a lawyer needs another lawyer to brainstorm and bounce ideas around. Deciding whether to start a law firm is a tough decision. You gain the freedom described above, but you lose the security of working for an established firm as an associate. But is that freedom? In the short run, a young lawyer likes the security of knowing a paycheck is coming twice a month. But all private practice lawyers ultimately realize that they “eat what they kill.” Therefore, the early shelter and protection offered by an established firm is lost after a few years when the developing lawyer is required to either leave the firm or develop a pool of clients that generate sufficient profits for the firm to justify the lawyer’s salary. In essence, the lawyer has to develop the lawyer’s own “profit center” or the lawyer’s own “solo firm” within the firm. Either way, the lawyer has to know how to start a practice and thrive. This book will help striving lawyers get on the path to success. Testing Your Entrepreneurial Spirit: Answer the questions below to determine if you have what it takes to start a law firm. Lawyers who want to start their own firm should answer affirmatively to most of the questions below or should partner with another lawyer who answers affirmatively to most questions. 1.
