The Law Entrepreneur

Shelly Ingram is a small firm practitioner in the Washington, D.C. area. She has a family law practice and has developed that practice over a number of years into a thriving, modern practice from scratch. When she hit the upper limit of growth at the small family firm she worked for, she began looking for new positions for herself. She knew how hard she could work and what she was worth, and based on that she made the decision to go solo. She has many lessons to share about this process that are sure to be of great benefit to you.Resources:Shellyingramlaw.comFacebook: facebook.com/smifamilylawLinkedIn: linkedin.com/company/law-office-of-shelly-m-ingram-llcTwitter: twitter.com/IngramFamilyLawInstagram: instagram.com/IngramfamilylawJoin Lawyer Club FREE, where lawyers and law firm owners come to reclaim control of their firms and their lives!
