Lawyer needs help,
working from home...

by David
(San Luis Obispo County, California)

I joined a law firm in the community that I retired in as a part time, non-equity partner. I specialize in representing public entities and the firm represent several in the area

I'm telecommuting out of my house. I've only actually attended one meeting in an agency that the firm represents. The rest is done from home by phone and computer.

I'm still trying to figure out how to do this. I've been an in-house municipal attorney for 31 years and never had to keep track of time, bill people, etc. I'm struggling with how to focus, have some discipline and fit into the firm.


Wendy's Two cents: Sure sounds like the ideal job to me... just like website owners, working in their pj's! Grin!

I did a quick Google search for "lawyer tracking time" and found free shareware that attorneys use. I'm sure there's lots more out there to help you! Use Google, they are fantastic for leading you to great resources:
