This may sound really gay (solo attorney)

Date: October 3rd, 2024 11:10 AM Author: nk I've been 100% solo for years now. I love the freedom/flexibility. But I sort of miss the camraderie I had at the firm, working with coworkers. My parents retired and closed their business too and it's fun to look back on everything they built, their employees, their buildings, their products, etc.
When it's time for me to hang it up, I am going to have absolutely no shared memories whatsoever. I am busy enough where I could hire people but that's extra aggravation and not worth it imo |

Date: October 3rd, 2024 4:41 PM Author: michael doodikoff dude come on - you are living the dream and took a risk that most lawyers would never dream of taking. the upside for how well you can do is basically infinity. Think about that
Who gives a shit about "shared struggle" you can go to your local bar association and meet people to bitch about that with. |

I do get what you mean though. When I was in biglaw a senior attorney told me, re dealing with solo pltf counsel, that something to remember is that they're lonely and they're happy to have someone to talk to. That had never occurred to me at the time but I certainly get it now. This is useful advice on the defense side, and turns out to be true. |

Date: October 3rd, 2024 6:27 PM Author: ataraxic it's man’s nature to band together to work towards great achievements in the name of great virtues, like exploration and war. doing this for material sustenance on behalf of an entity for which you have no personal concern is a perversion of this impulse, and the cause of much confusion and disillusionment among intelligent and spirited men. but most do not see through this muddle and direct their energies towards professional objectives to fulfill a desire that they believe to be economic but is really something else entirely.
