Change of Plans.. Solo to Associate

You never know what life is going to give you.  So just as I was in the beginning stages to opening my own solo practice, I was offered an associate attorney position with a law firm.  I was excited and really starting to get into the details with my firm, but the position was to good to turn down.  I'll be practicing mostly criminal and family law, but also have the chance to handle a few worker's compensation and civil litigation cases.  My long term goal is still to open and run my own practice, but in the short term this is a position that will allow me to gain really good litigation experience and also start earning and saving more capital to later invest in my law firm.

So where does that leave my blog? It is a blog about specifically opening a law firm.  I've been thinking and I'm going to still maintain a blog, but maybe shift its focus.  I'm not sure yet what I'm going to focus on... maybe blog advice and ideas for attorneys with law firms based on what I see here in LA.  I also thought about blogging legal tips and useful info I learn and come across working at the firm.  The best thing may to let my blog organically grow and go into whatever direction it ends up going in.  I'm going to post a new entry once a week.  Hopefully I don't get to busy to stop.

Solo attorney one year out of law school last week and associate attorney at firm this week.  Life is good.  Thanks for all the views.  I hope to still keep people interested in reading as I go into a new direction.
