Occasionally in life leaping off of tall structures and wading through mud isn’t enough of an adrenalin rush. Occasionally you just have to jump into the great unknown to find out what adventure is all about. That is why, after much thought and consideration, I have decided to eschew the comfort and stability of a regular paycheck in favor of diving headfirst into starting my own law practice.
Thankfully, I am not alone. Two dear friends, who also happen to be first-rate lawyers, are taking this leap of faith with me.
While my emotions run the gamut of excitement, sheer panic, happiness, anxiety, and confidence about this new endeavor, I am indeed looking forward to this next chapter in my life. So far, I have been shown an incredible amount of support from my family, especially Guido, my friends, and my clients. When I talked with a client earlier this week about transitioning to my new firm, she asked me if I would have an assistant or a paralegal. I explained that I would be playing all three of those roles (hopefully only temporarily), She immediately, and without hesitation, volunteered to come in a few days a week to help answer phones and file.
So, while my hair may be standing on end for awhile as I settle into this new gig, I am excited to see what the future holds for the three of us and our families. I would tell you more, but I don’t know how the rest of the story goes yet!
