I know two people who are both out of school less than 3 years, both have gone solo, both are doing very well.
People who quip that this is impossible really mean to say "Its impossible for me, so clearly nobody else could do it." |

Grossing 110 means he is netting like 60k-70. Pathetic. |

I have no idea how much criminal guy is making, but he's definitely got a steady flow of clients and is making enough money to live a fairly comfortable lifestyle. Immigration guy is making pretty serious money, especially considering he's 3 years out of law school. If I had to guess, I'd say he's grossing $300k.

I post here in between my hours and hour of writing. The social interaction goes on with in-house counsel who are as BETA as it comes. I dont know what kind of "pitch making" you think goes on in law, but we dont take clients to strip clubs or act like used car dealers. If the letterhead doesnt already sell us, its a nice powerpoint presentation that does the job. Maybe selling Joe the Plumber on your firm takes some dick sucking, but in the big firm world its all a bit more civilized.

Date: August 20th, 2010 9:15 PM Author: at-the-ready hideous lay boistinker A chapter 13 is 3-4k. A Chapter 11 for an S-corp or closely held LLC is generally a 15 or even 20k retainer depending on the size of the file. I've only ever done a handful of Chapter 11 because as I said this is my side project. Chapter 7's are $1200 but some losers charge as low as 900. 10% of the 7's I do are pro-bono.
