When Los Angeles litigator–and last year’s American Bar Association Solo Practitioner of the Year–Dana B. Taschner says that he works alone, he means it. He has no in-house staff.

Even his word processing is performed by outside help.
“I have it done by cyber-secretaries,” he says. He picks up the phone and dictates his work to an online service, which e-mails him his work product within a few hours. “I have a full secretarial staff available to me 24 hours a day, seven days a week without the…cost of health insurance…or other benefits,” he says.
