I am also no expert in this field, but based upon 25 years of running my own law firm and over 30 years as a practicing attorney, it is my belief that persons just starting their businesses need advice on how to locate and capitalize on opportunities which will provide name (or brand) recognition for their business in the particular field or industry in which the business is operating. I also believe that many people fail to appreciate that starting a new business venture is like giving birth to an infant. It needs to be constantly fed and cared for and is not likely to give you much in return until you have put in enough time and effort for the business to "mature" into an ongoing successful enterprise. My experience, at least in my field, is that you have to be able to make at least a 5 year commitment of "sweat equity" to make any enterprise profitable and successful over the long term.
Personal injury law is not my bailiwick, but it is unethical for an attorney to pursue any claim before the court which the attorney knows or has reason to suspect is frivolous or would result in a fraud being committed upon the party being sued (including that party's insurer) and/or upon the...

Almost all litigation attorneys seek a court reporter that can transcribe the questions and witness’ testimony accurately. However, I find that the court reporter who comes in about 30 minutes before the deposition is scheduled to begin in order to get the caption and other details for the transcript, as well as working with me to pre-Mark exhibits before the deposition commences makes for a much more expeditious proceeding as wells a enabling me to have free flowing interaction with the witness. The more conversational I can be with the witness the more likely I am to get honest answers out of him or her. If I have to stop every few minutes to mark yet another exhibit for identification, it breaks up the spontaneity of the interaction between myself and the witness. Some court reporters have trouble paying attention for an hour and a half or two hours of straight examination. However, I find it the most effective and least time consuming manner to conduct productive depositions to prepare a case for trial or a good settlement for my client. This approach also saves my client additional attorney time in conducting a deposition that is interrupted multiple times through having to mark exhibits during the course of the proceeding.
Lunchtime or early evenings (between 5 and 7 PM) appear to be the best times for networking meetings. Because we are a law firm, lunchtime meetings can become problematic if we are in court during the morning and a hearing transpires longer than anticipated. Most of my bar association and other...

Lunchtime or early evenings (between 5 and 7 PM) appear to be the best times for networking meetings. Because we are a law firm, lunchtime meetings can become problematic if we are in court during the morning and a hearing transpires longer than anticipated. Most of my bar association and other professional networking meetings take place in the very late afternoon or early evening hours for that reason.
