Financial planning had been on Bacon’s mind since she received her first student loan bill after graduating from Ohio State University’s Moritz College of Law in 2011.
Bacon made the leap from law to personal finance in June 2015, when she started working at Summit Financial Strategies in Columbus as a paraplanner.
While Summit’s clients often seek retirement planning and investment advice, Bacon has become the firm’s student loan expert. Her familiarity with college finances has helped her explain it to the firm’s clients and their children.
Bacon also encourages others to leap out of an unhappy career if they have to.
Some lawyers practice law on a full- or part-time basis and pursue an entirely different career after hours. Some of these lawyers have come to terms with the fact that they do not enjoy practicing law but accept it as a means of financing what they really do enjoy.
One notable example is Scott Turow, author of Presumed Innocent and Burden of Proof and partner at Sonnenschein, Nath & Rosenthal, who writes during his daily train commute to work.
Andrea called her parents and asked if them if she could move home if she quit her job. They said yes, and Andrea quit her Biglaw litigation job with no idea what was going to be next for her. With time and space, Andrea was finally able to figure out what she really wanted to be doing with her life.
Hi, and welcome to The Former Lawyer Podcast. I'm your host, Sarah Cottrell, and on this show I interview former lawyers to hear their inspiring stories about how they left the law behind to find careers and lives that they love. Let's get right to the show.
Tell the Truth. If your lawyer doubts you in the consultation, or doesn't think you have a case, while that may change over time, getting over an initial disbelief is very hard. You have to prove your case. Your attorney is not your witness. They are your advocate - but you are responsible for coming up with proof.
If you don't pay your lawyer on the day of trial, or however you have agreed to, then while he or she may be obligated by other ethical duties to do his/her best, they won't be motivated by sympathy for you, and it will show in court.
While lawyers can certainly take your money and your time and we can file a case that will be very hard to win, if you don't care enough about your life to get a contract, the judge is not very likely to be on your side. At least, not automatically. Oral contracts are extremely hard to prove. What are the terms.
While juries usually get it right, sometimes, it's not about whether a particular matter is emotional or simple, complicated or straightforward. Sometimes people make decisions on who has the nicer suit, or who is more pleasant to deal with. So even if your case is good or even if it's not so strong.
Well, truth be told, neither do I. The difference between lawyer and client is that the lawyer expects it to take a long time and understands. The client typically thinks it's unjustified. So, your hard truth is that each case takes time. Be patient.
Your lawyer can also drop you as a client if you fail to pay your legal bills. However, he or she must give you reasonable warnings and opportunities to pay your bills first. Further, if you’re unreasonably difficult or you refuse to cooperate during litigation, then your attorney may withdraw from the case.
But an attorney can withdraw if it won’t have a large, negative impact on you, the client, or if the attorney has a compelling reason. It’s not enough that the two of you simply disagree about something minor during litigation. If your lawyer does withdraw from the case, he or she must inform you and the court.
The Rules of Professional Responsibility encourage attorneys to work with clients until their legal matter is completely resolved. However, the rules also recognize that it’s not always in the client’s best interest to require the attorney to stay on. Therefore, there are situations when you should get new lawyer.
