Episode notes

On today’s episode, I interviewed Charles Vega. Charles is an attorney in Daytona Beach, Florida. It’s a bit strange, but we have almost the exact same story. Both Charles and I were in business for multiple years and law is our 3rd or 4th career. We both went to school late in life, started a solo practice, and even right down to the fact that we are both practicing martial artists as well. I almost feel like I’m interviewing myself! You are going to hear how Charles started his solo firm and has since grown it to be the size he wants it to be as he continues to enjoy the ride and go for as long as he can. I am delighted to present to you Charles Vega.

In this episode, Neil and Charles discuss:

Being an older law student and beginning your law career with a robust work history.
Growing a remote law firm.
Utilizing past experience to hire the right team members.
Enjoying both life and work.

Key Takeaways:

Seasoned veterans bring their own networks to law firms.
Hiring the right talent is important. You are only as strong as the people who work for you.
As a lawyer, it is important to know what you want your exit strategy to be and build that in from the beginning.
Enjoy where you are now and embrace this time of your life.

"Even though I came late in practice, I've known a lot of people and people that know I'm a professional, call me because even though they know I've not been doing it a long time, they'll know that because of my reputation, I'll take care of them and help them resolve their problem." — Charles Vega
