Introducing the My Shingle Q&A: "Say nay to the naysayers"

Carolyn Elefant -- she of the Law Stars Hall of Fame, as of this week -- kicks off a new question-and-answer feature on My Shingle. She writes,

"Recently, I've been receiving a number of inquiries seeking advice on starting a practice.  I'm going to try to address as many as I can, as quickly as I can, in what will hopefully be a regular "Questions & Advice" column.  If you send me an e-mail with a question, try to eliminate any identifying information so that I can use it in a column.  I'll get in touch with you prior to posting, but it will make my job easier if I don't have to reformulate questions.  With that, my first question topic is how to handle the naysayers, particularly when you're a relatively new attorney ..."

Her first reader question -- how to start one's own firm in the face of overwhelming discouragement -- nets a classically thoughtful, comprehensive answer from Elefant. In 819 words, Elefant does a terrific job of weighing and weighing-in on the question. I think that's why, as a reader, I find Elefant's words of encouragement so authentic.

So, as my own good deed for the day, I encourage you to participate.
