DUI Lawyer | Starting a Law Firm

Almost everyone has dreams of starting their own law firm. I know I did. The thought of being your own boss (for me a DUI lawyer). The thought of taking the direction of your business wherever you want. The thought of creating a culture of excellence that just plain doesn't exist at a lot of place. And the thought of putting all of the money my hard work earns in my pocket were too much to pass up.

But it's not all roses and rainbows. I started a law firm with the idea of being the number one eminent domain attorney in Seattle, and that quickly morphed into the best DUI attorney in Seattle. I'd done a little bit of both, and I quickly realized that as a DUI lawyer I could do two things - I could help more people out of bigger problems, and I could make a lot of money.

It's this kind of twist and turn that you've got to be ready for if you are considering starting your own law firm. Because they will come, and they will come hard. Maybe there just isn't a market out there for what you want to do. Maybe what you think works really doesn't. Or maybe it just takes longer than you thought it would to get going.

Starting a criminal law firm is tough. Being a DUI attorney is hard. But it's rewarding. And there is success to be had out there. All you need to do is put one foot in front of the other. Keep working hard, and the results will come.
