So what was it that we decided to go solo? You
were in a firm.
Probably had a good situation, what was it, as
much as you feel like talking about but it's a big decision
to go when you have a regular position in that firm.
It was time to make my own luck and this was one of the biggest
things. One of the biggest quality of life improvements and
this regardless of whether you decide to go big or small
whether you go into partnership with somebody else or go
solo whether you decide to start out with a couple of parros
and staff up or not.
One of the most important things to me about running my own
practice was doing my own intake and choosing the cases that
I was very good.
Yeah, you know choose your clientele.
Yeah, and that was really one of the most important parts
of going solo.
Yeah interview of shape what kinds of cases you're mostly
going to work on and the people too and the people Yeah, and you
know, this is down there in the tiny fine print on the as
a footnote on the bottom of every page of my website, but
it's there because I really believe it choosing a lawyer
especially for an immigration matter is an important professional
and personal decision.
This is somebody who is going to impact.
How you get towards a goal in your life?
They have to be somebody you can communicate with and your
lawyer has to get you.
Yeah, one of the hard things about working with people in
the I & P space.
But this also goes for like new business L1s is You'll
talk to somebody in a consult and you'll realize that they've
been guided towards something.
That's a really an inappropriate solution for them because
the last attorney they talked to didn't really get what the
person's about and what they're trying to do.
Yeah, so talk about your career goals talk about what you're
trying to achieve with this business and see if the attorney
really gets it.
