"You hear abo t all these rich lawyers?" h said. ' Im driving a 1976 Vega." llrows 1 1d San Diego ha an 'old-boy n twork" that makes it hard to break in and even the Bar Association's attotney- referral erv1ce requires a certain aniount of trial experience which 1s difficult for a new lawyer to obtain "But this ha got advantages.

Dunn struggled without much success until bls neighbor's mother persuaded her friend, attorney Albert E. Walkoe, to help him out. Walkoe gave htm some hourly work researching from hlS office at 2139 First Avenue in an old Victorian house and, after a few months, Dunn wa given some cases to handle "That was pretty good, but Wa.llcoe IS always oo the verge of retiring, and there isn't that much work to do. So I decided to go on my own, using an offve in that build- ing," Dunn said "It too while, but things are picking up quit a bit now and I owe my success to the help r got from these people" Dunn aid h came t San Diego for the weather and the Sun Belt economy. "Upstate ·ew York was hrlnking Cali- forrua has a problem with these unac- credited law schools turning out lawyers like gr1St mill - they take people's money, Dunn aid But this is where I want to be. I'm kind of a laid-back guy, and I really I e the 'cas(ual)' attitude here. "And I'm still here in my office tn the V1ctonan in the airport flight path." • • • Byron Cb sebro, 30, pa sed the bar exam two years ago after graduating from West- ern t Univfctty. He formed a partner- hip with Don Hmey, a cla mate fro~ Diego State University. "The first SIX months were intolerable," he id. 'We only recouped about one of e ery two dollar we earned. But eventual- ly you d velop a (Jxth nse about whether people will pay you and you talk about it 1th them from the beginning. "It was mtolerable because ii was awful- ly fru tratlng. You're not getting any in- come, and you know you're long overdue. You'v pent everal years m school not makmg ny money and now you're incur- ring more debts. 'You're under a Jot of pressure - it's n ky; you have to worry about malpractice all th tlme, you carry your work home with you You feel Ii e glvmg up. You hear horror tone from other people." Chesebro ays that now If he discovers pr pect1vc cltcnts cannot pay, he doesn't

take them. It's uncomfortable to talk about money, but to Chesebro, it's vital to get a substantial portion of the money at the start. "There are pros and cons to partner- ship," he said. "One reason we've made money sooner than some is that I've lived m San Diego my entire 30 years and we've had many referrals from people that way. "Another reason we've made it is that both my partner and I have wives with other careers and that's how we swing it financially. Also, we are both very thrifty. We have one child and another one on the way, and our money situation is finally be- ginning to look better." Attorney Anne Fisher, 30, who recently moved her practice from La Jolla Village to Encinitas, has been a sole practitioner for two and a half years. When she gradual- • •

ed from University of San Diego law school in 1979, she worked for Defenders of San Diego, Inc. (a pool of court-appointed attor- neys}, for two years. It was very compet- itve, she said. and learning to work fast was the main advantage. But she was anx- ious to become her own boss. It has been a constant struggle to keep business steady since gomg solo, said Fisher. But her efforts have been worthwhile. ''Tbmgs get slow and you get real hun- gry," she said. "One week I may get $200; another week, $2,000. I ehoc,.,e my own hours, but if I take Memrrial Day off, for instance, I can miss $1,Ch'lQ a kmg in the door." Fisher's mother is a Judge m Arizona.
