Solo law practice means that I don't have a boss at the office. You might say that every client is somewhat of a boss; but, clients come and go, and a good lawyer never gives up his independent exercise of the profession to a client. In fact, clients hire lawyers to exercise that independent judgment, which they are trained to do. If a client tries to control the representation, the client is a fool, and the lawyer who stays isn't really a lawyer anymore. So, I work for myself, and, while I have great respect for Elon Musk and the other entrepreneurs of the world, I don't think I want them telling me how many hours or what sacrifices I must make to work for them. Elon allows the people he hires great autonomy in doing their job; but, he is still a boss, and hires and fires at will. I don't need that in my life. If I were a young man again, I might make an exception for him; but, I am not that young man anymore. So, if you want to live your life in the way you see fit, go solo, young warrior. You probably won't make a lot of money; but, trust me, there are more important things in life.
