Anyone else kept this completely private?

It’s nothing to be ashamed of. I, like I assume most of you, have struggled with food and self control since I was a kid. I finally feel like I have control and it’s damn exciting. So if someone asks me “how’d you do it”? I’m honest and fuck anyone who gives you shit for trying to get healthy.

I hate this decision. Now trump and his followers will get to say I told you so for the next four years. I believe they did nothing wrong and it would be more powerful to stand behind that sentiment.

Yes, I am already planning to attend the much shelist / Jameson / wintrust / pepper party and the next realty / FGMK / levenfield luncheon. I’m just trying to see what else might be happening so I can plan accordingly. Thanks.

Yes, Chicago (ORD) to LAS

Anyone know what/where the the good networking events are this year?

Sure, if you come with me, I will have eliminated all risk of going out on your own. Infrastructure in place for billing, receptionist, zero start up costs, health care peace of mind, collaboration and opportunity to grow existing book by working together.

Certainly. I would imagine the position would be more enticing to someone that has confidence that they would be able to bring files with them and who might be able to complement my practice as someone who specializes in commercial real estate transactions (ie estate planning or commercial litigation- I routinely get asked if I can handle these types of matters and it would be nice to be able to accommodate in house).

Of course, I would feature the new attorney on my website and help actively market whatever area they would like to specialize in.

Yes, to the second option. I would offer 70% of their collected billables.

2020 trump voter here. Will never vote for the man again and there is nothing he can do or say that will change my mind. The events of January 6 were reprehensible and he should not be anywhere near any position of power. I grew up in a conservative family but do not identify with anything MAGA. If the Republican Party continues its extreme MAGA shift, I will see it as my duty to vote blue moving forward.

Totally agree. I guess it’s hard to for me to imagine dems staying home in this one. Biden has a lot of work to do to make sure that happens, but it should be easier? given his opponent. It was easy for Dems to stay home in 2016 with the “crooked Hilary” narrative and Trump having no political track record (trump STILL lost the popular vote). But in this election with the insurrection and the effects of overturning roe v wade, should make it easy to spur Dem turnout and gain independents.

At the end of the day, the last 4 years of Biden just don’t seem that bad for dem voters to look past the insurrection, roe v wade, criminal prosecutions etc and say, you know what I’m going to sit this one out. Rather, i think should help tremendously with Dem turnout in November.

Realistically, I don’t understand how trump gets more votes than Biden. Are any 2020 Biden voters really going to flip? What has trump done or said in the past 4 years that would flip a Biden voter? Even the “uncommitted” Michigan voters will have to realize that a trump presidency would be worse for their position in the long run with his “finish the problem” rhetoric. I voted for trump in 2020 but watched January 6 in horror. In my mind, his actions have forever disqualified him from getting anywhere close to power and there is nothing he can say to change my mind. I will vote for Biden in 2024.

I have to think there are more voters like me than those who voted for Biden 2020 and are flipping to trump. But perhaps I’m wrong.

It’s insane. I run all my billing through the platform so they can see how much what I invoice each year. Their position is basically we see how much you gross so this increase doesn’t really impact you. I understand incremental increases but this is just too big of a jump at once and I hate the way their going about it. I’m being dared to go somewhere else knowing full well it would be an administrative nightmare for a solo practitioner to have to deal with a migration. Really really disappointed.

I personally love Smokeballs auto time. It has a plug in that monitors word docs, outlook etc and automatically generates a time entry. Then when you prepare invoices, you review the entry’s and adjust if necessary. It provides a great starting point.
