March Ambassador Article
My One-Year Chamber Anniversary
By Brian Reinhold

On March 15, 2010 I opened the doors of my very own law practice.  I wasn't completely green having cut my teeth for the previous six years at larger law firms in Los Angeles and St. Louis.  While I understood the practice of law, I had no idea about the business of law.  There is no want for people who need legal advice but finding those who can and will pay is another story. 


Within the first few weeks of opening my doors I had learned several valuable lessons.  The most important being that people have a natural suspicion of you when you walk into their store, introduce yourself as an attorney and just want to talk.  The other was joining the Kirkwood - Des Peres Area Chamber of Commerce had already turned into a valuable learning experience.
