I started my law practice in the fall of 2009 after working as a prosecutor.
All my peers told menu was insane to start any kind of business during such a poor economy.
They got to practice while the getting was good, so they knee how bad it was.
Of course I didn’t listen, and it has been rough.
But God has taken care of us and my practice is doing well.
People call and bring by resumes and applications all the time.
I have to tell them that I can only afford to pay myself.
If it weren’t for social security taxes aline I could afford at least a secretary or maybe a paralegal.
But taking on an employee (even here in Texas) is quite burdensome.
So I am just being content to keep it simple and small.
There just isnt the pay off there use to be for taking risks and expanding.

If one wants things done one's way, it's best to do oneself.

Me? I've gone as virtual Galt as I can 'till national leadership has turned direction. (But I'm old...)
