Date: September 25th, 2018 3:23 PM Author: Razzle Lavender Pocket Flask Area i did and still do a lot of everything on a flat fee basis because the contingency fee work has a long lead time.
i rented space from established group of solo lawyers. 8 or so guys in the space, who do crim, real estate, business lit, and PI respectively. shared use of infrastructure like copier, fax, and receptionist, plus guys to get help from on my cases has been crucial.
i have the hang of it now and its just about getting good cases, and figuring out the dogs I dont want to take. |

Date: September 25th, 2018 3:39 PM Author: Razzle Lavender Pocket Flask Area $500 a month but its through family friend so its arguably below market, but i do see this kind of thing advertised on listservs etc all the time. the space i am in has no windows and wasnt being used so the $500 is free money for the attorney who holds the lease and sublets all the space
another guy i know in fort lauderdale got his start doing exactly this and it has worked out similarly with the older lawyers kicking him work and generally helping him out.
