November 2015 - Decision Not to Disclose (For Now)
November 2015
I did not feel comfortable publicly disclosing my bipolar II diagnosis as a law partner. I did not want my disclosure to affect my law partners. For other reasons, I decided to leave the firm and opened my own solo law practice on November 30, 2015.
Even though that reason not to disclose was resolved, I was still not ready. At the time, my wife was pregnant with our first daughter. I no longer had the security of a steady paycheck. I decided that I needed to focus on starting the business first and put off my desire to disclose.
