There’s some nice press here for fellow solo and blogger, Hoosier Lawyer, Steve Terrell. Formerly with big law firm Ice Miller, Terrell has opened his own firm, with this mission:
Justice, like quality legal services, should not be only for big
corporations and those who can afford the highest-priced lawyers from
the biggest firms. During my 13 years in a 200-plus lawyer firm, one of
my partners had a Scale of Justice in his office. He placed a roll of
dollars on one side of the scale, and tilted the scale in that
direction. It was something with which I was never comfortable.The Pledge of Allegiance ends: “with liberty and justice for all.” I
believe that this should be the objective of our legal system. It is
the objective of this law firm.
How many of us have started a firm with that mission in mind? Take a look at the article about Steve and what else he has planned for his new shingle.
Rise of the little people
Maybe it is just because I subscribe to those blogs but everywhere I look in the legal blogosphere I see solo firms popping up….
