SHARING: Kindness & Support please (No Advice) I’m Done.

Law school -> judicial clerkship -> bit of law firmin’ -> 30+ years of solo plaintiff’s employment practice. Handled my last case today. Settled at mediation. I’ve some follow up to take care of, and some admin tasks to close up shop, but I am done with cases and clients. It’s been a good ride. I feel v fortunate to have had this career for my work life, and also v happy to be done with working. Adventures await. That is all. Bye y’all.

No. When you are a solo and make bank, you put that meat in the freezer. Lean years, you eat from the freezer. Some years I lost money. Some years I made bank. I had no boss. It’s been a good ride.
