Over the entance to where Carolyn Elefant has an 'office' it states: -
"For Lease Transwestern 202.775.7000"
Davis Building

As you walk pass the 'Davis Building' there is no sign of any law firm within or a door inside to show evidence that Carolyn Elefant has a office there (all a bit 'shady' if you ask me). We know there was no Big-Law establishment in the US that thought she was up to a standard to hold down a job as a lawyer, so to hide herself away is what would be expected.

Debra Bruno said it is a 'confusing' journey to find her 'office', that Debra called a 'conference room', we know the Elefant does get 'confused' so she probably thinks it's an 'Office'.
- -'Carolyn Elefant Wants to Be the Voice of all US Solo Lawyers'
Welcome to the pieced-together world of the solo practitioner. There's no name on the door to Carolyn Elefant's K Street office in Washington, D.C. In the waiting room, a chubby man slouches on a black leather armchair, dozing. Elefant appears, smiling and gracious. She takes us on a slightly confusing circular journey through the halls before she finds the conference room where she left her coffee cup, fag and briefcase.-

Sounds like the seedy Hank Janson 'Private Eye' story books of long ago and you certainly get that impression from her attitude of "... I had made a mistake so I was loathe to apologize" which is in keeping with Hank Janson PI ideology! Even the description of her 'Solo Status' below sounds like them seedy PI's blowing their own Trumpet and all that comes out is a terrible load of crap.

Why not let Ms Elefant's impress us with her own words of some of her 'vast' talents -
"The way I like to tell it... I'm the head honcho in my own law firm... a big law firm wasn't big enough. Not big enough for my ego... I was a lawyer ahead of schedule... the first generation of lawyer-bloggers... the first to recognize and harness the power of the Internet... the first generation of law firms on-line... the upload of a law firm website (which I handcoded myself) in 1995... business owner long before the dotcom boom of the late '90s... solos know strategies associates need to learn... as an associate, you don’t own your law firm... standing firm before an insulting, nasty judge... I’ve developed lasting friendships with several accomplished female solo lawyers who inspire me... Like Jack who jumped over the candlestick, we solos are nimble and quick..." and her famous statement "Lawyers Tell Lies"

Just what is Ms Elefant's 'Solo Status'?- Well it appears the WSBA (Washington State Bar Association) don't have any records of her having a licence to practice law and she is 'SUSPENDED' by the the DC Bar.

Not to worry it appears by what is said the Elefant does a lot of work for Duncan & Allen a DC base law firm, going by her boasting I supose she advises them on how to run their business.
