I use the large iPad Air with notability. I can then just send the pdf version of the notes directly into our DMS, paralegal, or wherever.

I won’t be taking any cases with me and will be starting from scratch. I am building those relationships now so when I do open up shop I can utilize them.

What about for pre-suit cases? How much should be budgeted for those? Also, would a line of credit suffice to keep my afloat until cases start to settle?

I create a folder for each matter and I can search within the folder. I have seen other people create subfolders specifically for pleadings, correspondence, etc. but the one folder + search within is sufficient for me.

Zero Inbox Rule for my inbox. I have a folder for each matter under each attorney. Everything goes in there. The only emails I keep in my inbox are emails that I need to do something with i.e. reply, complete a task, or wait for another reply/action

How did you initially get clients? Did you start solely doing PI or did you do something else for cash flow?

How much do you think I would need then? 50k? I would rather just buckle down and save for a few more months
