And the Lady Lawyer goes Solo. . .

August 31, 2011 Marca Tanner Brewington Leave a comment Go to comments

This has been a very busy few weeks for me (or 8). And finally, to top it all off, I am now a sole practitioner. So many thanks to my clients and the opposing attorneys who are being so patient with this new, HUGE, change in my life and practice. There have been a few anxiety attacks (or 12) over the past several days, but I think I can do this. As a dear friend of mine quoted to me, from a sign that hung in the Tube in London during World War II, “Keep Calm and Carry On.”

And Carry On I will.

Even when that Calm is a little tattered. . .
