Angela Said:

Any lawyers willing to answer some career questions?

We Answered:

1. Family
2. They all require effort and must be balanced with each other.
3. I strive every day to balance my carreer and personal life most of the time there is harmony they will always conflict to some degree family must always trump career in the long term (really).
4. I love the law and my strength is in verbal communication and language this was a nataral choice for me.
5. I have practiced in three distinct areas of law and changed states once these were Prosecutor, Insurance Defense, and Plaintiff P.I. practice. I have had five jobs 2 in Hawaii, three in Florida you must be ready to change when it is necessary, some of these were my choice some were not.
6. Money and satisfaction are unrelated, money is a means to an end but it is not what defines us. Nothing is more rewarding than when a client says thank you, a rarity, or better yet when you make a real positive difference for someone who will never appreciate it ( this is the reality)
7. I chose this career and I have no regrets, but on occaison anyone practicing law will have to deal with less than perfect results or even an injustice. An individual just needs to remember when you fall down early in your career get back up there are always set backs. Learn from them and you will be in a better position professionally and a better person later in life. Many good lawyers fall by the wayside because of one major set back some even do this duting the bar exam it is sad.
8. Follow your passions, pay attention to your curiosities, define your strengths all these will define who you will become and what work you want to do. Practicing law is rewarding and very challenging you have to be able to carry much emotional weight with grace and remember that serving humanity in legal conflict requires some very distinct tools in your arsenal. Some you have now and some you will have to develop.

Leaps of faith are good too, like this post you got your answer from a lawyer
