Sheena’s Story

As a part of our ongoing series on former LegalWise participants, Sheena Thompson reflects on her experiences and how LegalWise can help aspiring independent legal professionals like you.

What would you say to someone thinking about applying?

If you are considering starting a solo or small practice, you will definitely want access to LegalWise's resources. The mentorship, educational materials, and networking opportunities are invaluable. Not to mention the peer support--it is so helpful to have colleagues to consult with.

Before you encountered LegalWise, how did you feel about starting a practice?

I never considered opening a solo practice before encountering LegalWise. LegalWise gave me the resources and confidence to open my own practice straight out of law school. The mentorship I received through LegalWise assisted greatly in both my legal work and work as a business owner.

What did you learn in your time with us that was most helpful?

The most helpful things I learned during my time with LegalWise were how to open and run a business. There is a lot that goes into starting and running a law firm. The resources I accessed through LegalWise helped tremendously.
