Jordan Rushie pretty much totally copied me and wrote a post about how much it costs to start a law firm, but he added all sorts of extraneous stuff like should you start a law firm in the first place?

This was a great blog post by Philly Law. I cringe when I see articles touting the $3,000 law firm. If you only want to (or can only) commit $3,000 to your law firm, DON’T DO IT. Just work for someone else until you have a larger nest egg. You will need to support yourself as well as your practice, and if you only sink $3,000, you will lost it all when you realize that you’re starving to death.
