Link: Chuck Newton: The Ego Is Big. 
I love this post by my friend, Chuck Newton. He talks about lawyers who won't move their practice to their homes as having low opinions of lawyers who do. You know, the lawyers who have big offices, big overhead, big heads, and think of themselves as better than the run of the mill solo practitioner. He also talks about the lawyer who moved his practice home so he could care for his kids after his wife died, and stayed home after they grew up. I happen to think practicing at home (at least all or part of the time, as I do) is the selfish choice. It is in my self interest to be home when the kids are home. It is in my self interest to keep the overhead low, by not having a passel of employees with their hands out for salary and benefits. It is in my self interest to practice from a former house that is paid for, so that I have no rent. Maybe we solo lawyers know something the biglaw types don't?
