Going Solo? Scott Wolfe gives New Orleans attorneys some advice.

Four years ago, Scott Wolfe started Wolfe Law Group in Hurricane ravished New Orleans, LA, with a laptop and proximity to a local coffee shop. Since then, our firm has grown to a bi-coastal practice and represents contractors, suppliers, engineers and property owners in hundreds of claims.

New Orleans City Business magazine recently published an article titled “On their own,” providing advice to attorneys in the metro area who may be considering a solo practice. “With law firms throughout the country shedding staff,” the article by Christian Moises begins, “some attorneys are starting their own firms — either by choice or out of necessity.”

Wolfe Law Group’s Scott Wolfe was interviewed for the article, wherein he shed some light on the perils and triumphs of “going solo” and running a law firm.

This isn’t the first time Scott has been called upon to offer advice to those venturing on their own. Carolyn Elefant interviewed Scott and spotlighted him in her recently published book, Solo By Choice. Scott has also spoken to Loyola Law Students about venturing out on one’s own.

Scott Wolfe spotlighted in Solo By Choice by Carolyn Elefant

Scott Wolfe Jr., founding partner of Wolfe Law Group, is featured in Carolyn Elefant’s recently published book, “Solo By Choice.”

Published by Decision Books, the book speaks to an audience of legal professionals about venturing out on their own.

Wolfe was interviewed by the publisher in 2005 about the success of his practice and about his advice to other attorneys on how to run a successful law firm.

Carolyn Elefant is one of the few spokespersons for solo and small firm practices, and advises attorneys on how to leave “BigLaw” in favor of smaller and more focused firms on her website: MyShingle.Com.

On that website, the book’s topic is described as follows:

Solo By Choice is dedicated to every lawyer who ever wanted to run the show but worried that going solo was career suicide…every lawyer who wanted to solo but didn’t know how to set up the office and make it work…every lawyer who never set foot in a courtroom but dreamed of one day practicing law their way. In short, this book is dedicated to becoming the lawyer you always wanted to be.
