Off To A Good Start

Its only been two days into my new found freedom, and so far things have been going well. I have been receiving a lot of good responses, good publicity so far, and I have a great outlook on things. However, I am faced with a crossroad right now. I was able to stumble across a law clerk job here in New Orleans, but there's a catch. I can't practice criminal defense in New Orleans. That's a problem because here is where I'm known and have a good reputation as an attorney. Criminal defense will have to be my bread and butter if I am going to build a practice and succeed in it. Its what I know and can specialize in at the moment. Of course I can practice criminal defense in the surrounding parishes, but it will take time for the judges in those parishes to get to know me as an attorney. It will also take time for me to learn how the other parishes operate in their courtrooms. I will have to think hard about this one.
