I love my work. But the law is a jealous (unforgiving) mistress. It’s difficult for me to impress upon others that the life of a self-employed lawyer can be utterly frustrating and exhausting.
But the price is worth it because I value living the examined life. Alas, however, I am neither dope, woke, nor are my services inexpensive. I charge $350.00 to $400.00 per hour, along with a 4- to- 5-digit ‘evergreen’ retainer.
I want to fight the Dark Side of the Force with you. But even Han Solo had to pay the Empire’s self-employment taxes.
