Tamara Couture was sworn into the State of Bar of New Mexico 18 years ago today. She started her business 4 months before that as Couture Solutions. Since she had finished law school, but was still waiting to take the bar and get sworn in, she started the business as a contract Law Clerk, helping other attorneys and doing hard core networking so that when she got her license, she could open her law office immediately, which she did, passing the bar her first time taking it. She thought it would take a long time to build up enough business to fill the day, so she planned to spend part of every day writing the Great American Novel. She was wrong. She has been busy since day one. By year three she hired her first attorney associate. She was an official law firm owner by the time she was 33.
