How to Start Your Own Law Firm

Our guest speaker, Matthew Silver, shared with us what it takes to start your own firm right out of law school. Matthew received a JD from the University of Miami and an LLM from Osgoode Hall. Soon after graduation, he founded the law firm Silver Immigration and authored the Amazon Best-Seller “Navigating US Immigration in Modern Times.”
Below are some helpful links for people interested in starting their own firm. Each state will have their own requirements, so you'll have to check for similar resources in each state. Matthew attended law school in Florida, but he now practices in Canada so he's kindly shared resources that are helpful for both U.S. and Canadian students:
