Episode Description
Catch real insights about starting a solo law firm from Christine Lincoln's 25-year solo practice in Houston, serving family law clients.
Christine shares how attorney mentorship benefits changed her practice, why the paid consultation model filters serious clients, and the solo practice work-life balance systems she built over two decades.
She spent 40-50% of her time on solo attorney marketing strategies early on, then built contract legal services relationships and legal practice management software systems that gave her the flexibility to scale up to two paralegals and then intentionally scale back.
This is family law solo practice management in action, not theory.
