Ten months ago, I opened the metaphorical doors of my new law practice. I had spent the previous thirteen months working in the Texas Attorney General's office in downtown Dallas. Although I loved the work, there were a number of challenges that meant going to work was generally miserable. And I was driving about two … Continue reading the freedom of unpredictability
