Are you tough enough for retirement? By Matthew T. Smith

Author (Guest Blogger): Matthew T. Smith

I recently came upon a podcast that I personally found compelling. I am always looking for new and interesting topics of discussion to listen to as I attempt to occupy my time driving between Columbus,
Ohio, and Lexington, Kentucky, on a weekly basis. I have already exhausted the entire solo attorney field and what things to do in preparing to start your own law firm. I will discuss those functional topics as I approach my final year of law school. But for now, I wanted to discuss a topic that is personally fascinating to me.

Matthew Smith, Guest Blogger: A Promising 3L Law Student You Should Know

Introduction:

I am proud, and very excited, to introduce Matthew Smith, a guest blogger to this site and aspiring attorney. Mr. Smith is a 3L (third year) student attending law school in Kentucky. While I will leave it to his short bio below the details of his odyssey in life and in the law, I would like to herald his presence on The Solo Lawyer as my guest blogger. He will be writing on a host of topics ranging from challenges facing junior-starting attorneys and starting a new law practice out of law school to estate planning and veterans issues, helping veterans being one of his passions. So, I am overjoyed by having him submit what will be interesting and useful information. Today, please read his short bio, and we look forward to you returning to benefit from his posts yet to come.


P.S. For those who are also in law school and thinking about going solo, Mr. Smith's posts are a must read.


Matthew Smith Short Bio:


"A Little About Myself"

My name is Matthew Smith and I am currently a 3L part time law student at Salmon P Chase College of Law in Northern Kentucky. In two years I plan on taking, and passing, the Ohio, and then Kentucky bar exams. Immediately after passing the bar I will be starting my own law firm with my good friend, study partner, and law school savior.
