A Lucrative  Career

Being a lawyer is a great way to make a lot of money dependably. Of course, such a proposition will require quite a bit of hard work. If you’re going to put in the necessary time, you’re going to want to do so pursuing a career in something for which you have some level of  passion.

Getting involved with a legal firm is a difficult thing, and those who are the best attorneys often have idiosyncrasies which may not be represented by the general population, and with which you must content. Such personality traits often develop from a unique  reality.

 

Being a lawyer involves several different talents. First of all, you must be effectively a wordsmith. That is to say, you do with words what a smithy does with metal. Additionally, a lawyer must to some degree be a performer. They’ve got to be able to convey a certain narrative convincingly to judge and jury. Rounding out the skillset is the understanding of complex and shifting legal  realities.

 

For example, in California, if someone tries to evict an individual from their premises, it’s going to take around a year, minimum. The court docket is thick as a Tolkien novel in most places throughout Cali; just getting someone in court takes quite a bit of time. Enforcement of a verdict takes a while as  well.

 

The “Law” Between The  “Laws”

From a legal perspective, it’s not just knowing the law that defines a good attorney, it’s understanding the bureaucratic realities which silhouette and facilitate that law; and how to navigate them. Some lawyers operate on a strategy of bureaucratic water-treading to keep a case in pending litigation so long eventually those bringing suit flat out give  up!

What all this means is you’ve got to choose the legal “rut” you intend to make yours carefully; you’re going to be in it for decades—with success, hopefully. It takes time to figure out the “law” between the “laws”, if you will. So: are you into business, or family law? Firms like Holtz Law specialize in law practice focused on the resolution of affairs related to business or personal  situations.

 

If you’re interested in working with industries who have specific needs in the business they’re involved with, you might consider drinking establishments. The law offices of Monshaugen & Van Huff are a Texas group that has a focus on liquor law. The law is multi-faceted, and there are segments of it for every activity which is regulated in the United States — that certainly includes  gambling.

 

Handling The  Unexpected

If you want to practice law, a wise choice is finding that which you have some additional interest in to help drive you. The right legal angle can put you in a position where you have substantial opportunity. But at the same time, there are some who would exploit attorneys. You’ve got to be careful. If you’re an attorney for, say, a casino group, you could be putting yourself in  jeopardy.

 

But flip that coin on its head: if you’re providing legal assistance for law enforcement firms, you might make the wrong people mad that way as well. The truth is, even if you are a business lawyer in a small town, there is a possibility you’ll find yourself in a complicated, dangerous situation at some point in your  career.

 

Attorneys operate on the seams of society. That which stiches the garments of our modern republic together is legal in nature, and lawyers understand how the threads are woven together. Accordingly, those who would tighten or loosen those threads seek them  out.

 

So lastly, whatever law concentration you decide to get into, keep in mind that ultimately, the reality of being a successful attorney, and what your imagination has built this career into based on things you’ve encountered in the media or your own research, are two different things. So be prepared for the  unexpected.
