Just go to your local DA’s office.
I have met a poor lawyer, they work for city and state governments or NGOs and give all their extra cash to hang onto liberal campaigns in seeking the dream of well paying government official. If they would look sideways and understand corporates law, the review of enforcing contracts, pays 3 times as much, with little risk of being hung out to dry without an paycheck.
This question most likely is coming from someone in the 70-90k income range that the current administration is setting up for an epic income squeeze between rising healthcare costs due to regulation and increased state and local taxes in supporting the urban environment.
You might be surprised at how many former lawyers are out there. There were too many for the market and despite all the ambulance chasing, they couldn't make a go of it.
There are lawyers, or at least people with law degrees, working at Starbucks.
I know a poor lawyer who never lost a case, is 79 and still practicing.
Spent his fortune keeping his wife alive from a rare leukemia.....
A great guy.
Some big civil cases he is now working on may put him back in the black........
Hell, I’ve met a bunch of piss-poor lawyers! Unless that’s not what you meant...
