[quote=Anonymous]OP, why don't you friend him on FB?  Honestly, if you didn't date him, that wouldn't be a big deal, right?  As an attorney who does Personal Injury, I can tell you that the big law lawyers don't do this kind of work, and some may say its looked down upon because of the idea that these PI attorneys are ambulance chasers- but in reality, there are alot of strict rules that prohibit attorneys from that type of stereotypical behavior.  PI attorneys who are really successful start of with a few clients, work hard to obtain good settlements, and then build their practice from referrals made by happy clients.  Plus, anyone who has opened up and maintained his own practice for 3 or more years is probobly doing really well.  It requires not only good lawyering, but also running a business is something we are not taught in law school you have to be active, network with attorneys who don't do this type of work for referrals and really work your butt off to run the business side of the firm.  You asked what does it mean?  It means nothing except he decided to stay in the same town (possibly because he already has a network there to easily build a client base) and he has his own business and is practicing personal injury law.  That's it.  [/quote]
