Success Story: How I Left the Law During the Pandemic

If money weren't an issue, what would be stopping you?

I even look forward to work on Mondays!

I left the law in 2004 after focusing on software licensing, mainly because I found the practice of law to be very reactive and always about putting out fires. I also never considered myself that good of a lawyer.
