One of the hardest parts of being a solo attorney is all the non-lawyering tasks that have to be accomplished on a day-to-day basis. What’s worse is we can’t bill clients for that time. It’s not just me that sees this as a problem for solo lawyers: LexisNexis recently released a survey indicating solo and […]
Few things make me happier than a double monitor. If I had my druthers, I would set my office up to mirror the docking stations in “The Matrix.” I would have 15 screens with scrolling green letters and numbers … The legend of the quad-monitor is quietly whispered throughout the halls of Micro Center and […]
