You're absolutely right about the generally flexible nature of freelance work (especially legal research and writing) being perfect for parents. <br /><br />Through Legal Research & Writing Pro (http://LegalResearchandWritingPro.com), I teach other lawyers how to start and run successful practices as freelance lawyers. I also blog about issues of interest to freelance lawyers and hiring attorneys at that site. Make sure to check out the article about how to start a freelance practice that I wrote for GP|Solo Magazine; you can find it at http://www.legalresearchandwritingpro.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/gp_mentor_legal_research_and_writing_services.pdfLisa Solomonhttp://legalresearchandwritingpro.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3917175986608222742.post-89824933519725056542012-06-15T17:43:14.620-04:002012-06-15T17:43:14.620-04:00Montage Legal Group just expanded to the East Coas...Montage Legal Group just expanded to the East Coast in May ! http://montagelegal.com/montage-legal-group-expands-to-san-francisco-new-york/ <br /><br />I'd love to chat with you! <br /><br />- Laurie RowenMontage Legal Group (www.montagelegal.com)https://www.blogger.com/profile/15254007926547893327noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3917175986608222742.post-38778569942251276102011-12-21T13:51:04.450-05:002011-12-21T13:51:04.450-05:00Your post articulates what my mother's generat...Your post articulates what my mother's generation felt in the 1970s and worked so hard for -- that often mothers want SOMETHING. Something else besides the thankless tedium of homelife. Many find it through volunteering but, as much as people may look down on me for saying so, it feels damn good to earn some money -- especially if you haven't done so in a while. I sahm for a few years because I thought I should and my husband's work schedule was crazy at the time. when I went back to work (motivated by breaking the tedium as opposed to earning a buck) I was shocked by how good earning the money felt. Not that I could even have paid our mortgage with what I was earning when I first went back but that wasn't the point. Anyway, good for you. Also, I think there is something called flextime lawyers run by Debbie Epstein out of Philadelphia? I think that is her name at least.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3917175986608222742.post-21627524298083992562011-12-03T11:29:22.855-05:002011-12-03T11:29:22.855-05:00Your blog feature is up today!

I have read about Montage Legal and wondered whether there was an east coast equivalent. <br /><br />I left my in-house job 5 months ago to be a stay at home mom and you articulated my feelings exactly in this post! A 2/5 ratio seems it would be the perfect balance of work to help maintain my sanity and home to get plenty of quality time in with my 5 month old daughter. Is it possible?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3917175986608222742.post-15704270700871736262011-12-01T09:22:29.829-05:002011-12-01T09:22:29.829-05:00I work PT, and it is really, really nice, but I do...I work PT, and it is really, really nice, but I don't really like my job and I would love to find something else.
