Meridth Hammer tried hard to be a good employee, but when she was laid off during the 2007 crash, she ultimately decided it was time to open her own law firm. She set up the Hammer Legal Group in Indianoplis, and was successful for several years.
Then she got an offer she couldn't refuse at the Cook County Clerk's Office, but eventually knew she wanted to get back to running her own firm, so she started the firm back up from scratch in Chicago. Her practice focuses on wills, trusts, probate, and real estate.
Along the way, she learned a lot — about setting up and maintaining a business, about what works and what doesn't, about real estate shenanigans, and most importantly, about herself. She also shares stories of some of the strong women in her life that have been an inspiration to her along the way.
She candidly shares with The Savvy Entrepreneur some of the challenges along the way, with humility, humor, and absolutely a “can-do” attitude.
