Congratulations to Ernie the Attorney, a legal blogging pioneer, who has hung out the shingle in New Orleans:
effective today-- I'll be practicing under the rubric Svenson Law Firm LLC. I'll continue handling the same types of business disputes that I worked on before, but with less overhead and a lower billable rate. I'll strive to use non-hourly billable arrangements, and to use technology to increase productivity and effectiveness wherever possible.If you've read Ernie's blog since way back in 2002 you know you can't count on that.
I recommend that you read his entire post (My new law firm) to understand why he has moved on after practicing with the same firm for 18 years as well as Dennis Kennedy's post on Ernie the (Solo) Attorney to understand the respect the blawgosphere has for him.
