Wife made about 125k in 2016 (she is corporate counsel for a company close to our house). This puts us at slightly over 900k for the year.
I'm thinking about writing a book and giving seminars on solo practice and marketing. Willing to take some questions today though as well. |

|
Date: January 15th, 2017 2:34 PM Author: Soul-stirring outnumbered double fault stag film My marketing strategy is: talk to a lot of people. It's as simple as that. I don't really do much actual marketing. I pretty much "network" all day long 24/7. If I am at a friends house and he has friends there I don't know. They won't leave without having my business card and without knowing what I do.
If you've ever seen One Punch Man, it's sort of like that. He says you can be the strongest fighter in the world if you just do 100 push ups, sit ups, and run 5k a day. And it sounds like bullshit. But in the show he is the strongest fighter in the world. My advise is super simple, but it is effective and works.
At this point though, my firm just generates leads without any additional effort. I've had so many former clients that I just get calls from their referrals throughout the month. |

Date: January 15th, 2017 12:58 PM Author: Soul-stirring outnumbered double fault stag film This is absolutely true. Especially with lower income clients. They love to call me on the weekends and tell their friends "hold on, im on a call with my lawyer." It isn't much of an inconvenience and I get a lot of referrals because I make myself available. Plus, I honestly like helping people and enjoy meeting new people. So the calls can be fun sometimes. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3491997&forum_id=2#32378325) |

how long should i plan on going without any income to make solo work? and, at what age would you say its probably not worth it? |
|
Date: January 15th, 2017 1:21 PM Author: Soul-stirring outnumbered double fault stag film It's always worth it. Just make sure you have enough to keep your family afloat. I would say expect zero income for at least 6 months. Especially if you do contingency work. So if I were you I wouldn't leave without having 25-30k that you can burn over 6 months. If you can do a side practice that is upfront cash (like criminal or immigration) that is good to supplement you while you build up your contingency pipeline.
In the meantime, start going to lunch with solos in your area who do what you want to do. Learn that shit inside and out, set up a website, make business cards, start telling your friends/family you are going to be leaving soon, and once you can quit all you have to do is start taking on cases.

I'm in my early 30s. Went to UCLA/USC/UT for undergrad too. I had my IQ tested as a child because I had ADD. It was very high.
However, until law school I always did poorly in school because I never showed up (too busy playing everquest and smoking weed). I dropped out of high school senior year, went to community college, and transferred to my undergrad. Luckily I had an easy major and did well on the LSAT. So I got into a good law school. |

Date: January 15th, 2017 1:23 PM Author: Soul-stirring outnumbered double fault stag film California has actually been worse and worse for plaintiff's attorneys. They got rid of third-party bad faith, there is a string of cases that cut medical expenses at trial (Howell v Hamilton), and we have low minimum insurance coverage (15k).
However, LA is awesome for PI. Everyone drives, there are tons of cars, and people are greedy. Also, Uber has been huge. Uber carries 1 mil insurance and underinsured coverage. That means every time there is an accident with an Uber the case has insane upside. |

Most of my leads from networking are people I met weeks, months, or years earlier. When I say understand their needs, I don't necessarily mean their legal needs. People hire people they like. Clearly if someone calls me saying they broke their leg I jump into what I can do to get them a lot of money. The problem is getting the guy with the broken leg to call you. And he won't call you unless youre the first person he thinks of when he gets hurt. There are a million PI attorneys out there. Everyone knows at least a few.

Date: January 15th, 2017 4:33 PM Author: tripping pisswyrm nursing home i don't have a problem with this answer, but i don't think it is related to reading books about selling. to do what you are describing requires being social, coming across as smart and competent, and getting results why don't you tell people how much interaction you have with strangers, how much time per week you spend in social settings, etc you obviously aren't getting these clients through advertising which is great. but acting like it's something you learned from reading books is misleading |
|
Date: January 15th, 2017 4:37 PM Author: Soul-stirring outnumbered double fault stag film I didn't say I learned it from books. But if you don't have those skills now, the only way to learn them is to go out to talk to people and read about how to interact with them.

Date: January 15th, 2017 2:32 PM Author: Soul-stirring outnumbered double fault stag film I think having a partner is a terrible idea. There is rarely equality in any partnership. If you can bring in a ton of business, just hire people to do the work or do the work yourself. You'll make more money.

There is a reason why a lot of small firm partners make start and disband several firms over the course of their career.

i think you should advertise more. it's cool you're generating enough work to make that type of money largely on word-of-mouth, but then you'll have that either way. advertising if done right will definitely get you more cases that you wouldn't see just on networking, and like you said you can always just hire someone else to do the work if your volume grows that much. could also use it but only selectively add cases when your marketing brings in a whale case that will net you a huge fee. you can definitely afford to underwrite it as an experiment for a year, anyway. |

Date: January 15th, 2017 4:38 PM Author: Provocative dingle berry a couple of things to point out:
1) calishitlaw is a natural extrovert and a friendly dude. some people have it, others don't. this is a skill that can be learned, but doesnt come naturally to most people. most people, for example, would not help out randos on xoxohth or even meet up with them irl. this goes to show how unusual his personality is.
2) calishitlaw is unusually rational and deliberate (these are qualities that can be very distinct from iq). for example, helping out random xoxo lawyermos isn't a purely altruistic act, because it creates goodwill at very little cost to himself and may in fact lead to a lot of benefit. if calishitlaw helps one lawyer become a successful solo and takes a cut of the business, it would be a pretty great pay off for him and the lawyer. most people would not think to network on a message bort, but he did.
in all, a good example of how to be successful in life.

Date: January 15th, 2017 5:21 PM Author: Soul-stirring outnumbered double fault stag film Been with my wife almost 14 years. We do at least 1 new country a year (done close to 30 with her). Usually 2 weeks. The rest are just small trips to Vegas, Santa Barbara, etc. We also have disneyland passes so we go once a month. She gets 5 weeks vacation at work so she is pretty flexible.

Date: January 15th, 2017 5:39 PM Author: Abusive Wine Hell Tattoo I know it sounds gay, but a big obstacle I face with doing this is I am completely ignorant of the actual machinery of shitlaw practice. Like the advertising rules, the logistics of how a shitlaw client actually pays you, how you ethically create and end an attorney-client relationship. Etc. None of this is really taught in LS.

Date: January 15th, 2017 5:59 PM Author: tripping pisswyrm nursing home okay, this isn't legal advice advertising rules are generally common sense and if you just do what everyone else is doing, you should be fine. read through your state's ethical section and read the annotations. this literally won't take more than 15 minutes. there are probably annotations that tell you what you can't do based on people getting burned for it in the past. in my state, you cross the line, you just get warned, and you back up. that's definitely not legal advice for your state. shitlaw clients don't pay you if you give them a chance not to pay you. so, you get the money up front and do flat fees or you get money up front and bill hourly. if you deplete money up front and are owed more, you absolutely do not trust these clients to pay you in the future. they will not. you will ignore this advice and trust people. then you will be amazed at how worthless people can be. you will actually appreciate people who come through with their obligation to pay you. that's ridiculous, but that's how it works. so, don't be a bitch. before you trust anyone, you withdraw. ending the relationship? not legal advice. just end it. if you are dealing with someone who can afford to cause you problems, you probably aren't going to want to end it. otherwise, there are all kinds of buzz words and buzz phrases that you use to get out. breakdown of the lawyer-client relationship should get you out of almost all cases. why isn't this taught in law school? because law school is greatly flawed. |
