I am a Bethesda resident and a lawyer, blogger, author and mom to two daughters and two pups. By leveraging technology, I was able to run a national energy practice from a home office in Bethesda Maryland for many years when my daughters were young. These days, I don't work from home as much but when I am, you'll see me around the neighborhood taking breaks with my two furry pups. You can learn more about my eclectic practice at my website, carolynelefant.com or blogs, nextgenerationenergylawyer.com or renewablesoffshore.com. If you are interested in starting your own firm, check out my resources at MyShingle.com or my book, Solo by Choice at Amazon. Currently working on a book on Part Time practice with Julie Tower Pierce - you can check out our webinar on the topic here - http://www.pinkslipsanddetours.com/2009/08/10/start-your-own-part-time-practice-teleseminar/
