Docket: 11 cases, vast majority contingency, largely referrals from people I know.

Revenue thus far: $16,250

Based on current docket, 2018 solo revenue (6 month period including earned to date) will total approximately $45,000 (i was at my other job for the first 6 months). One year projected revenue (June 2018 - June 2019) is approximately $175,000 based on my valuation of the current caseload, assuming they settle within 12 months.

Never worked this hard in my life, but incredibly happy, and I've made some nice progress in only 3 weeks. Looking forward to building on this. On the down side, I'm getting obsessed and finding it very hard to have a work/life balance. But i assume that's how it is going to be in these early days until I can establish a routine.

<$1,000, maybe even <$500. i work from home, meet clients at coffee shops, etc. my E&O is probably the largest single monthly charge at $141. rest is tech/efficiency stuff like docusign, quickbooks, etc.

Good work, brother. As I poasted recently, I'm looking at leaving a low-six fig government job to join a smallish regional firm, and I'm approaching it as if I'm building my own solo shop. With a hell of a lot of hustling, I think I can get dem referrals. Might take a salary hit in the short term but long-term it seems like it would pay much more. Sounds like you're thinking the same.

Agree. And i literally work in shorts and a tshirt from my home everyday. I go for walks whenever I please. That said, I woke up at 4:30am yesterday to get a shitload of work done for a client before the day started. Lots of work, but still 180.

the 16k in revenue is for flat-fee work and earned upon receipt. i'm trying to keep at least 5-10k per month for hourly/flat fee work so i have a constant drip of revenue.

Bros, what would you do for a client with a 400k loss case but which would need to be filed in state court? I offered the client 35% contingency if he pays all costs/expenses or 40% if i advance all costs/expenses and they are recovered upon any settlement. He countered and said he would only be ok with a 40% contingency fee which would INCLUDE reimbursement of my costs/expenses. I told him that's not how it works, and he needs to understand that my reimbursement of fees/costs has to be a separate deduction from the settlement amount (from the contingency). and now we're at an impasse. he's a pain in the ass to deal with, but he has a pretty good case here.

maybe i agree to rep him to the extent we can resolve the matter pre-filing. and take 40% including all costs, which would be very minimal if pre-court filing.

no, been too pussy to ask for one. but i'll take the risk because he is a very sympathetic plaintiff and i think i can push this one to resolution without too much costs.
