Book Review: An essential guide to starting a solo law practice
Summary: 5 Stars
To start a solo law practice, you need to know more than just how to practice law. You need to know how to do the research to find out if you can make living in the kind of law you want to practice. You need to know what kind of marketing will bring clients in to your office. You also need to to know how to set up the everyday things that associates in large firms take for granted, like how to set up a filing system, what kind of furniture your office needs, and what kind of phone and computer systems will help you. The list goes on and on, and if you've never started a business, you probably have no clue how much you don't know that you need.
It's all overwhelming without a guide. Hal Davis is that guide, and this book contains a wealth of information that would otherwise have taken me years of experience to gain. My copy has post-it notes every couple of pages, and every page generated notes and entries in my to-do list for starting my office. I would not even think of trying to start a solo practice without the information here, and it's all contained in a readable format that fits into my briefcase.
I highly recommend this book to both those who are new grads and those who are going solo after years of practice.
Summary of How to Start a Solo Law Practice - 2008 Edition
Practical, proven strategies and tips for starting a solo law practice, whether from a law firm, corporate or government practice, or straight out of law school.The author went directly from law school into solo law practice, after reading every book available on starting a law practice. After ten years of finding what worked and what didn't, he realized he had become a mentor for the new lawyer:
The book is not so much to replace Jay Foonberg's excellent book, How to Start & Build a Law Practice, as to supplement it. The author found Foonberg's book lacking in such important areas as choosing an area of practice, marketing, and client management.
Now in its third major revision, How to Start a Solo Law Practice provides even more practical and inspirational guidance for the lawyer looking to take the plunge into self-employment.
