The Lawyer Who Didn't Like Introducing Himself


Guess the outcome of this post's subject.
Single?
Limited pipeline?
Few billable hours?
Out of practice?

Yep, although lawyers can rely on putting in massive amounts of energy during the day, it would still be good for them to have someone to go home to. Or clients to help. Work to keep them busy, that they originated or requested from the partners. And a job.

Truth is, many lawyers are out of practice with introducing themselves. They may find themselves from time to time at events or in public places where they are open to meeting people, yet they must really work at introducing the type of work they do. Afraid of being a turn-off, they keep quiet about their profession.
