Agreed. People focus too much on what area of law to get into. Just start your own practice, really doesn’t matter what area. I know very small law firms (1 lawyer and 1 or 2 paralegals) that are pulling in millions every year… all different areas.

You missed literally the best job: in house. I’ve done several of these. In house is the dream. 🥰

how much do trial attorneys make at public defenders offices? No way it’s more than big law. Super informative video though!

You knew more as a 3L than I did as a 3L lol fortunately still feel like I did well once I became a lawyer. I would like to add that even though I do agree in a way on your list…remember that financial success doesn’t always feel great. Make sure that you don’t end up miserable chasing money. Life’s too short for that. Try to get a balance of both

Started my own law firm right out of law school. Arguably one of the youngest law firm owners in New York City. Also founder of an upscale networking platform for lawyers.

I graduate in May with my associates in Spanish and I’m going to transfer to a uni for my BA. I would like to be an immigration attorney. What are some things I can do to prepare myself for LSAT?

Question… how hard is it to find a contingency-fee lawyer who isn’t a personal injury or employment attorney? 🤦🏼♀️Like do business or franchise lawyers ever take cases on contingency?

My husband & I are entrepreneurs who happen to run a PI firm. That’s how we see it. It’s not for the faint of heart but it’s worth every second of the risk, not just financially but the reward to do meaningful work for clients with life-altering injuries is unmatched. We love it!
