    Customer Rating for this product is 4 out of 5 Destined to be the bible for going solo
    A reviewer, law blogger Scott Greenfield, 02/18/2008

    There are a thousand decisions and considerations to make in starting your own practice, but with this book you will be so far ahead of the curve that your chances of success are increased exponentially. It is a 'how-to' of extraordinary depth and detail. And if I wasn't already a solo, I would become one after reading this book it's that thorough, balanced and persuasive. I think Solo by Choice is destined to be the bible for going solo.

    Customer Rating for this product is 4 out of 5 A detailed road map for going solo
    A reviewer, Chuck Newton, law blogger, 02/18/2008

    When I graduated from law school we had Foonberg's How to Start & Build a Law Practice. But Solo by Choice seems to be the guide for a new age. It’s a detailed and inspirational road map for anybody who wants to succeed in the solo practice of law. There does not seem to be a detail or consideration not covered. I think it's a must-read.
