I took the Virginia Bar Exam in February of 2008 and found out in April that I had passed. That meant that my plan to spend the next year studying for the exam had to be revised, and I looked for a job.
I gave myself until July 4th to find a job and nobody wanted to hire me.
So, I decided that instead of just being ready to help other people start their own small businesses, I could hang out my shingle and start a business myself. I couldn’t really think of a name, so I decided on Kristina Beavers, Attorney at Law as something simple and easy to remember (for me anyway).
Now, 5 years later, I have expanded from just me to a firm of 2 attorneys and between 4 and 5 other employees and interns. We also helped two other attorneys get started on their careers and helped students and other employees get work experience that allowed them to move on to other careers.
I’m very proud and thankful for everyone that helped keep us going for the past 5 years. Those that worked in the office, those that supported us, and all of the clients that put their trust in us and that have allowed us to represent them.
I”m also very thankful for my patient and supportive husband who has put up with the long hours and the stress that comes with running a small business.
Guess it’s time to work on the next 5 year plan!
