Now comes the hard part...

When I had my firm in Chicago, I was downtown, close to the courts, but far from the clients. Now that I'm out in LA, I'm in the opposite position - far from the courts, but close to potential clients, and, ironically, the IRS field office in El Monte.

The first step in creating this office was to create a website. I have one roughed in, but need to spend time creating content. More importantly, I need to spend time deciding what I want to focus on. Do I want to do strictly tax controversy? Some controversy, some estate work, and some tax prep? Mostly tax prep?

The Long Drive begins soon, and with so many miles to cover, we'll have time to hash out what the practice should look like.....
