Hi Gary,
Thank you for the kind words.
Yes, there are lots of examples of interesting niches. For example, a lawyer in Chicago that focuses on green business or a business lawyer who handles compliance issues for gas stations, drug stores and convenience stores. Another example is a lawyer that does estate planning for LGBT families. There are so many possibilities when it comes to narrowing your practice. This other article I wrote for SPU will probably help: http://solopracticeuniversity.com/2011/01/06/niche-slapped-how-i-chose-a-niche-area-of-law-to-practice/
