Substack
blog

Law students, lawyers, friends, and acquaintances often ask me how I designed my career and seek input to help them navigate their own lives as lawyers.

I've created a Substack @RiverGuideEsq to share my experiences, insights, and opinions about being a lawyer and navigating a legal career. The blog allows readers a chance to peek inside the mind of a seasoned lawyer and author. I feel that sharing my journey might help you on yours.
