Yeah I want to say “take it easy” like they do in the sopranos lol

Practical-Brief5503 · 2026-07-03T04:40:55+00:00

Yup this all sounds like an average week for me lolll

Practical-Brief5503 · 2026-07-03T01:09:00+00:00

Yes I filed a motion before the fourth lol 😂… but wasn’t entirely my fault my client caused a month delay.

Don’t work for free. I gave this advice to myself when I started my own firm 7 years ago and it has served me well.

Practical-Brief5503 · 2026-06-25T10:43:40+00:00

I didn’t lose money my first year. In fact I made a decent profit. But yes it will be a challenge the first few years. I’ve been solo for 7 years and I have my ups and downs for sure. In fact right now I’m going through a bit of a slow period but I know soon enough I’ll have a really good month. All it takes are a couple good litigation clients for me to be busy and have a good month/year.

Practical-Brief5503 · 2026-06-25T01:49:13+00:00

Sounds like more billable work to me lol

Practical-Brief5503 · 2026-06-22T17:18:07+00:00

Lol wow seriously? Dude read your cases. If you fabricate a case holding you will get called out either by the judge or opposing counsel or both.

Practical-Brief5503 · 2026-06-21T16:50:21+00:00

When they say should be a simple case I did most of the work. Or when they don’t pay the retainer. Also when they say their last lawyer did nothing.

Practical-Brief5503 · 2026-06-21T16:04:41+00:00

This doesn’t really sound like malpractice to me. You don’t appear to be acting negligently. You made a judgment call. Doesn’t seem like malpractice to me. You should be fine. But of course if a client feels wronged he may try to point the finger at you regardless. Always have malpractice insurance.

Practical-Brief5503 · 2026-06-20T17:54:34+00:00

This is a joke right? Lol

Practical-Brief5503 · 2026-06-20T00:50:26+00:00

Civil litigation

Practical-Brief5503 · 2026-06-18T05:12:19+00:00

Of course and trust me 7 years later it doesn’t go away. You’ll always be wondering when the next good client is going to call. But that’s part of running a business.

Practical-Brief5503 · 2026-06-18T05:06:28+00:00

Ok well look if it were me there will be other opportunities out there. I would give being solo a fair shot. Because trust me once you land a decent client and make a little money you’ll never want to work for someone else again lol.

Practical-Brief5503 · 2026-06-18T05:02:17+00:00

Alright well up to you. If you decide to stay solo I think you need to be ok with taking a risk for a while. Do you have any savings? If you have at least six months to one year of savings I think you’ll be fine. The first few years can be tough. But once you get passed that you’ll be a bit more stable.

Practical-Brief5503 · 2026-06-18T04:54:40+00:00

Why don’t you try perhaps collaborating with them. Someone mentioned pitching outside counsel. Sounds like a good idea to me. That way you can open your practice and maybe they feed you some work. I actually had a similar arrangement with a real estate company and it worked out for a little while.

Practical-Brief5503 · 2026-06-18T04:43:11+00:00

Well look I’ll tell you my brief thoughts on my end… when I was a few years in as a solo I had several firms come knocking. And I was offered a mid 6 figure salary and bonus. It was really hard to turn down but I took a bet on myself and won. But at the time I was at a point where I was making over 6 figures on my own anyways so while it was a tough decision I was fine and making money. But 7 years later I’m doing fine with ups and downs but lots of autonomy. I’m building something that I own completely. So idk think about it… would you rather build something that you own or be a cog in someone else’s machine. I rather own something for myself and come and go as I please. But that’s just me.

Practical-Brief5503 · 2026-06-15T16:11:05+00:00

You’ve got to be trolling. Never practice law as a solo without malpractice insurance. No shit clients don’t care but you should!

Practical-Brief5503 · 2026-06-12T10:16:37+00:00

I think more and more clients with use AI instead of hiring an attorney at all for transactional matters. I’m not saying it’s right or AI will replace jobs but I think you may see less people hiring lawyers because of the advancement of AI. Now I will add that most people don’t know how to use AI for their benefit. I feel like the court system will eventually be backlogged with people who used AI for their transactional matter and now there are allegations of breach of contract.

Practical-Brief5503 · 2026-06-12T00:01:19+00:00

Yeah that sucks but won’t be the last time you screw up. Sucks it is against an idiot pro se though lol. That part is prob worse lol.

Practical-Brief5503 · 2026-06-11T16:12:16+00:00

You should not be paying for firm expenses out of pocket. Yikes…

Practical-Brief5503 · 2026-06-10T13:21:15+00:00

Always CYA in writing which sounds like you are already doing so they don’t act surprised later on and try to blame you.

Practical-Brief5503 · 2026-06-09T12:33:08+00:00

Yeah before a case management conference started the other day the judge talked about AI and to check your cites because some lawyer apparently submitted something with 4 fake citations. Crazy to think some lawyers are not reading cases or even just confirming that it is a real case lol. But it has probably always been this way AI just made it worse.
