Over the last several months I have learned a lot about becoming and surviving as a solo practitioner from reading all the great materials and posts on Build a Solo Practice, LLC which is the creation of Susan Cartier Liebel whom I have come to know and respect over these last several months. She is a leader and plowing the path for us solos trying to figure out how to do this thing called “solo practitioner”.

Recently Susan asked me to write an article for her website discussing how I came to the decision to go solo. Her website has periodic pieces called “Going Solo; Confessions and Inspirations”. Last week she printed my article entitled “Defying Gravity”. Yes, for those familiar with Broadway, it is taken from the recent Broadway hit, “Wicked”. When you read the piece, you will understand the significance of these words and that play in my life and the decision to go solo.
My hats off to Susan Carter Liebel. Not only for discovering my abilities as a writer (well probably not that) but for her hard work and efforts into making this world of solo practice a little easier to forge into. Susan is also starting a new project entitled “Solo University”. It will really bring the world of solo practice to a new level and offer great educational information for those venturing out on their own. Thanks Susan for your commitment and support. It is invaluable.

Craig,
You really described beautifully your rationale and experiences going solo and I’m glad I could share it with the world.
And thanks for letting your readers know about Solo Practice University http://solopracticeuniversity.tumblr.com
I’m really hoping to change the way lawyers learn how to be solo practitioners by provding an educational and networking forum that law school just hasn’t addressed.
Thanks for all the kind words.
Craig,
After a 7 year hiatus from law to care for my later father and stay home with my children, I went solo last fall.
I’ve never looked back.
It’s a bumpy ride so far, but I love it!
The best of luck to you!
