Practicing Law Can Be Lonely
Practicing law can be lonely.
There is pressure to put a brave face on, not show weakness, and have all the answers.
This is why developing a trusted network of mentors and other lawyers you can turn to is crucial.
We all make mistakes, and when you realized that you've done it this time, you can turn to a trusted colleague to help fix things.
No matter the mistake...
You are on the right track.
You can't mess it up.
You are plotting your course.
Except if you are stealing money from your clients.
Don't do that thing.
Be gentle on yourself, and know that you are just where you need to be.
However, if you *are* in a law firm you hate, and happen to enjoy Virginia civil litigation, definitely reach out to me. I'm hiring for a Virginia civil litigator. 🙌
