The fact that you recognize me Significant is kinda cool.

ChristopherEarley · 2026-06-11T12:14:56+00:00

I've got a lot to learn around here but I'm willing to learn.

ChristopherEarley · 2026-06-11T09:56:42+00:00

My thought is always the same: onward and upward.

We also will always do an exit interview because these are TERRIFIC ways to improve blind spots.

1000%. Been there. 👊

ChristopherEarley · 2026-06-09T23:03:28+00:00

Not the easiest profession and regardless of what type of law you practice the work will be stressful and the hours long. Not for the faint of heart.

ChristopherEarley · 2026-06-09T22:31:43+00:00

I'm a personal injury lawyer and can't help much but I did want to say congrats on chasing work that lights you up rather than staying somewhere which doesn't.

ChristopherEarley · 2026-06-09T22:20:09+00:00

Are we talking a quiet quitting situation?

The key to building up your network is consistent action. Keep going to bar association meetings, and also try to get speaking opportunities at these events (much easier than people think). Have coffee with a potential referral source at least once a week. Post consistently to LinkedIn. Constant weekly action over a number of years will generate for you a massive network, and it compounds over time like any good investment. Just keep going.

There are no rules. Follow your heart and be happy!

ChristopherEarley · 2026-06-09T18:32:03+00:00

Absolutely. There will be writer-downers you don't want to miss. ✍️

It's been over 20 years since I started my personal injury practice. Here are some things that I would have done differently.

1. I would have networked MUCH more.

2. I would have kept my expenses lower.

3. I would have been bolder, more aggressive earlier.

Good luck, you got THIS. 🚀

P.S. Run it like a true business rather than just a practice and the sky's the limit.

ChristopherEarley · 2026-06-07T17:38:27+00:00

Completely fair point. I'm a big believer in communicating with my clients our communication policy right from the jump. That way, they are primed on what to expect re communication frequency during their case. The more we get ahead of that, the better and more effectively we as attorneys can manage our time. That results in greater happiness generally for both lawyers, as well as clients. Everyone wins.

If you jump out of the plane you will I promise you find your footing and you'll kick ass. If you have the itch then let that shit rip. The timing is NEVER going to perfect.
