Why I Am A Solo - I Am Only Accountable To Myself

Finding Accountability as a Solo Lawyer. This article posits that it can be helpful to find someone to whom a solo can be "accountable". I suppose this means some sort of coach or other person with knowledge of law practice and systems. For the purposes of this discussion, we are not considering the accountability to clients and courts, which come with the job. However, if I wanted to pass accountability to another person, I wouldn't have decided to practice solo in the first place. I like being accountable only to myself. That means I live and die with the consequences of my own decisions. I have found it much more beneficial to know that my decisions are mine alone, and, while I am always open to new ideas, I am only "accountable" to myself. Egocentric? Sure. But, it works for me. If you want to be "accountable" to someone else, go join a group practice. Your partners will not be shy about criticizing your decisions.
