I just moved to Charlotte, NC from San Diego, CA and I am having trouble finding a law firm interested in taking a chance on a recently barred and even more recently relocated attorney. Any advice on meaningful next steps? Please help!

I did the same thing coming from Houston about a year and a half ago. I think the biggest thing is showing them that you want to be in Charlotte long-term/that you’re not a flight risk. I went out of my way in a lot of interviews to emphasize the commitment to Charlotte and I think it helped. Also, as banal this sounds, you just have to keep putting yourself out there and networking aggressively. It took several coffees, lunches, etc. but paid off.
