Don't do it. Or, when you need someone to handle your chapter 7, let me know.

foonberg, who is like the god of starting your solo practice, says you must have enough to be able to sustain yourself for a year.

Better question:

Comprehensive list of resources on starting a solo practice INCLUDING very frank and honest discussions on the costs and benefits and chances of success.

If living expenses are covered for a yr, then 10K would be enough assuming you didn't take Plaintiff cases which required a lot of costs (which you would pay for and get back upon settlement/jdgmt).

Work out of your house. Rent "an office" from one of those business suites which basically allows you to receive mail at the address and receive phone calls. You can rent out their conference room or crt reporter's conf room if you need to. Get a website going. Get your name on the web everywhere. Get business cards, malpractice insurance and hustle your ass for business.

If you feel its not going to work out, then start sending out resumes too. Not that much risk.

Also, buy the state's practice guide. Those are better than Westlaw for 99% of smalllaw questions.

Can you get a loan from any family members? Being able to keep your head above water for an extra few months can make the difference between success and failure. Being under-capitalized is a bitch.
