Not this solo in Colo. A recent blog post titled “LegalZoom’s War on GPs and Solos” by Larry Bodine on his LawMarketing Blog commented on LegalZoom’s recent IPO filing. Larry stated that LegalZoom “is capitalizing on consumers’ willingness to buy cheap, do-it-yourself forms as opposed to paying a lawyer to do the job right in […]
Don’t these titles seem to be getting more dramatic sounding as we proceed through the Hero’s Journey? Indeed – in this portion of our journey (yes, remember it’s “how a solo attorney can venture into the wide world of Facebook, overcome fear and obstacles, gain useful insight and skills and emerge triumphant” – just in […]
As a federal wine importer whose wines are distributed in Colorado, I’ve learned on the battlefields of commerce just how “user unfriendly” the Colorado three-tier state alcohol regulatory system under Article 47 Title 12 of the Colorado Revised Statutes can be.

Come on Barb – Supernatural Aid ? I know, I’ll go to any lengths to get people’s attention! I was thinking that, once my biz page got the requisite 30 “likes,” meaning I achieved my “EdgeRank” minimum (see the definition here), and I have access to “insights about my activity,” well, I thought it sounded rather […]
I recently found an area of law that I never knew existed: local counsel. Before moving to Denver, everything for me was local. I grew up in Chicago, went to school in Chicago, and worked in Chicago.
