You might try to borrow or purchase a book published by the ABA entitled How to Start and Build a Law Practice, Fifth Edition. Also, one of the many CLE providers in your state may offer CLE's on starting a practice or small office management. Also, there are periodicals with articles on starting your own law practice. Visit an academic, court or public law library near you. A librarian can help you locate the information you need.

Just start. Of course until you have a client you won't make any money. As long as you accredited to practice as an attorney you can just start your own firm. However, I would advise having a plan. Office space, advertising to put your name out there, and insurance above all else. Also you might want to set up your venture as a separate business so that if you are sued for malpractice they can't go after your personal assets. Good Luck

You must have a lot of money to start your own firm and be a good lawyer with a good reputation. Good luck. I hope it all works out for you.

Rent an office and hire a secretary/paralegal. Notify your state bar association of a change in employment. That's it. How you get paying clients is an altogether different matter...
