New Solo on A Mission

There's some nice press here for fellow solo and blogger, Hoosier LawyerSteve Terrell.  Formerly with big law firm Ice Miller, Terrell has opened his own firm, with this mission:

Justice, like quality legal services, should not be only for big corporations and those who can afford the highest-priced lawyers from the biggest firms. During my 13 years in a 200-plus lawyer firm, one of my partners had a Scale of Justice in his office. He placed a roll of dollars on one side of the scale, and tilted the scale in that direction. It was something with which I was never comfortable.

The Pledge of Allegiance ends: "with liberty and justice for all." I believe that this should be the objective of our legal system. It is the objective of this law firm.

How many of us have started a firm with that mission in mind?  Take a look at the article about Steve and what else he has planned for his new shingle.
