by Traverse Legal, reviewed by Enrico Schaefer - October 5, 2007 - 'The Greatest' Philosophy, Alternative Billing, The Billable Hour
I was interviewed by a local radio station yesterday concerning my start-up law firm. Essentially, it is a weekly series where they feature a local entrepreneur to discuss inspiration, start-up, and financing issues.
It is interesting thinking back two and half years when our firm was founded. One of the more interesting aspects of the interview was when I was asked where I found my inspiration to start this unique law firm. The answer was simple. I found it in the blogosphere.
I remember sitting at my old firm thinking about how there must be a better way. I remember discovering blogs like My Shingle and the [non]-billable hour. I realized that other attorneys were thinking the exact same thing I was thinking. I was not crazy.
As I sensed that there was a trend towards alternative billing, I decided to explore the possibilities of starting my own firm. The inspiration which I received from other bloggers was clearly instrumental to my decision to jump.
