Personally, I do not know anyone who asks what law school a lawyer went to while searching for representation. It all stems from your reputation. If you represent a few people and do well that word of mouth goes a long way. Now I live in a medium sized town. If you were trying to represent the wealthiest of people in a massive city things will be different. People try to make it sound like going solo is impossible. Every attorney that I know including the ones who are mentoring me basically went solo after very little experience.
In conclusion, people don't care about what school you went to but rather if you can help them or not. If you have the skills and confidence to build a client base go for it. My plan is to get about 1-2 years experience and go solo myself.
