For Attorneys in Transition, "Going Solo" Is The Best Career Option

Aug. 24, 2009 - PRLog -- As the number of lawyers being laid-off each month continues to grow at a staggering rate and flooding an already saturated job market with highly educated and experienced attorneys, one company has delivered a solution for attorneys who find themselves in need of a powerful interim employment solution until the economy turns positive and the firms begin to hire again.  GoSoloEsq.com is helping attorneys discover that "Going Solo" is just what they need to keep their careers fresh, their talents sharp, their work history active, their employment value high, and their cash flow positive.  

Through careful research and developing industry leading partner alliances, GoSoloEsq.com delivers the tools and resources “suddenly solo” attorneys need to quickly and affordably establish a “virtual” law practice.  Once established, GoSoloEsq assists them in growing their new practice and income by leveraging the attorneys experience and talents through their “lawyer to lawyer” income generating services (case referrals, co-counsel requests, freelance inquiries, and mentoring programs) within their network of other solo attorneys across the nation.

With over 20 years experience working within the legal community, specifically within the State and Local Bar Associations career services section, the founder of GSoloEsq.com, Richard Hackett brought more than just an idea to the table for solo attorneys, but the experience and knowledge needed to help them.   Having established the online Career Centers for over 70 state and local bar associations, he has also created and implemented over 30 practice development programs for their members that focused on helping solo and small firm attorneys build their practice and book of business.  The last three years he has helped establish Placement Centers services for state and local bar associations, assisting and counseling their attorney members through these very difficult economic times.  

“Whether you are a recent law graduate, associate, or former partner; I understand that the thought of "Going Solo" and establishing a law practice might sound a little scary, lonely and perhaps even costly, but it doesn't have to be if you go about it the right way,”  said Mr. Hackett.   “The services we’ve made available at GoSoloEsq allows an attorney to establish and operate a virtual solo law practice from a home office, for as little as a $100 a month.  That includes a professional address, call answering, part-time office use, and access to professional client meeting rooms as needed by the hour.”  

Establishing an affordable virtual law office is just the initial part of the GoSoloEsq.com service, as they also deliver a series of income generation services for their solo members that only a powerful network can deliver.  GoSoloEsq.com delivers a secure “lawyer to lawyer” case referral program where members no longer have to turn away qualified referrals, but get paid (fee sharing) for referring or receiving cases within the solo attorney network.  With their mentoring program, knowledge is not only power, but can also earn an attorney member income.  GoSoloEsq members can ask or offer their expertise at an advertised hourly rate to other members seeking their counsel.  Members also have access to discount virtual and onsite staffing assistance (i.e. paralegals, legal secretaries, etc.), website services, and direct links to important state and practice management forms, templates and other online resources.  

Leveraging the power of their network of solo attorneys, GoSoloEsq.com was able to negotiate for their members exclusive discounts, offers, and upgrades from their leading service providers.  The Regus Group, the nation’s largest virtual office provider is just one of the growing list of GoSoloEsq partners offering exclusive discounts to their solo attorney members, including over $1,000 in free meeting room vouchers and a free Businessworld Gold Card upgrade that can be used at their over 400 office locations.

To make things even more affordable, they are providing every new member with their first 3 months of membership for the price of one month ($29).  Visit them online at www.gosoloesq.com to see how “suddenly solo” attorneys can establish and grow their new solo practice and why “going solo” no longer means “going it alone”.
