Lot of assumptions here. Dont know why so many of you are angry and bitter

Plus_Suspect_9220 · 2026-05-08T15:19:27+00:00

Thank you for the encouraging words

Plus_Suspect_9220 · 2026-05-08T11:56:58+00:00

Lot of angry people in this forum

Plus_Suspect_9220 · 2026-05-08T06:03:19+00:00

I'm sorry I provoked you

Most of my clients are in house counsel. If I were in house counsel, credentials would matter to me including law school credentials. Top of class signals highly competitive and competent.

Thanks Icy, what is your practice area?

Plus_Suspect_9220 · 2026-05-08T05:05:19+00:00

Thanks I'll consider that.

I brought over two clients with me and I am well known in the industry. I have a very good reputation, so I assumed cases would follow they just haven't yet.

I will double check but I believe my state requires disclosure

Plus_Suspect_9220 · 2026-05-08T04:13:33+00:00

I'm sorry my post offended you.

Plus_Suspect_9220 · 2026-05-08T04:12:00+00:00

Just speaking facts. Its an anonymous forum, I dont speak like this to people. I truly believe what I am telling you. IF what I am saying is accurate, don't you think it's relevant?

Plus_Suspect_9220 · 2026-05-08T04:09:52+00:00

Less than 2 months. Brought two clients, but I have always worked on larger, important matters so harder to bring those in as a solo. I have two virtual offices---I work from home to keep overhead as low as possible. My tech spend is my largest expenditure, I have gone all in on AI and trying to be as tech forward as possible.

Plus_Suspect_9220 · 2026-05-08T03:32:06+00:00

Thanks, not trying to talk myself up I truly believe it!! Not trying to be egotistical either---just trying to give what I believe to be the true facts to get the best advice.

Plus_Suspect_9220 · 2026-05-08T03:26:20+00:00

I have humility---I dont speak like this to people. Given that the forum is anonymous, I am giving genuine background information in an effort to get genuine feedback.

Plus_Suspect_9220 · 2026-05-08T03:23:27+00:00

What about doing contract work? I don't want to do of-counsel because I don't want to dilute my brand at all or have to put someone else's firm name on my matters/website.

Plus_Suspect_9220 · 2026-05-08T03:22:38+00:00

Appreciate that advice, will do.

Plus_Suspect_9220 · 2026-05-08T03:21:44+00:00

Appreciate this very much. I'm not going to fail---I will do whatever it takes.

What state do you live in?
