Solo practitioner, St. Paul, MN

I was one of those stealth layoffs you don’t read about in the newspapers. Talented partner at a large downtown firm with no book of business asked to leave. Looking back, during the first few months of my job search, I was paralyzed and accomplished very little. Then I asked my law firm to hire Roy to help me. Initially, I reluctantly started to do the networking that he strongly encouraged me to do. Roy provided lots of tips to make me feel more comfortable when meeting people. His support and expertise provided me with the confidence to ultimately start my own firm, where I now do a considerable amount of work for a client that I met through my job hunting networking efforts.
