Ready to be your own boss? Starting a criminal defense firm requires more than just legal knowledge—it requires a roadmap. Join us for a high-impact, one-hour session featuring three practitioners who took very different paths to private practice. Whether you are currently in government service or a fresh admittee, this webinar provides the “boots on the ground” insight you need to launch successfully.

Our panelists share their journeys:

• The Former Prosecutor Perspective: Katia Wilson discusses transitioning from the ASA’s office to private defense.
• The Direct-to-Private Path: Shireen Brueggeman shares the realities of building a criminal practice from day one, having worked solely for the government as an Assistant State Attorney and Assistant Statewide Prosecutor before starting her own firm.
