Great Start to the New Year: Selected as Faculty Member of Solo Practice University
When I began my own law firm at the beginning of last year, I spent a lot of time before opening my doors reading everything I could about starting your own practice. See, even though I had been practicing law for 25 years, this was my first venture into starting and running my own law firm. One of my earliest guiding influences was reading the blog of Susan Cartier Liebel, Build a Solo Practice, LLC. Susan is a nationally renown teacher and coach advising lawyers on how to attack and excel as a solo practice attorney. As luck would have it, or as a result of my aggressive push into the world of "social media", primarily through this blog and use of Twitter, I began communicating with Susan about issues relating to starting a new practice. 
After learning about my legal experience and history, Susan asked me to write a guest post on her Build a Solo Practice, LLC blog about my inspiration for starting my own law firm. She then approached me about participating as a faculty member of a new venture she was starting...Solo Practice University ("SPU"). This concept; imaginative, out of the box, and so necessary, is typical of the type of forward and inventive thinking Susan Cartier Liebel is known for. The concept is an online legal education system to teach those just leaving law school or lawyers already practicing who are considering or already out on their own or in small firms, in all aspects of legal practice including marketing, the business of law, technology and yes, specific areas of law. As Susan describes it,
Plan, build and grow your private practice
Differentiate yourself from the competition
Attract and engage new clients more easily
Today, at SPU, my selection as a faculty member addressing the area of products liability has been announced. I am so proud and excited to be working with SPU and Susan Cartier Liebel on this venture. It has now been almost one year since I took the leap, defied gravity, and began Niedenthal Law Firm. Now I have the opportunity to assist others who have or are ready to jump as well. Come join this incredible opportunity to learn from those who have paved the way. I am honored and humbled to be among the excellent talent that has been gathered as the faculty for SPU.
