How Solos Can Improve Customer Service By Educating Clients
As solos, we are often consumed with the day-to-day obligations of running our own law practices. It can sometimes be difficult for us to stop and take a moment to put ourselves in our client’s shoes. We tend to forget that, while we might be familiar with the ins and outs of the legal process, our clients don’t have the same level of understanding.

How I Build My Practice With Intention
One of the biggest mistakes I see many solo lawyers make is wandering along in their practice without a real plan.
