My dad, before he came a judge, was LOVED by the old ladies in the town he grew up in. He got ALL their estate business...and as they started dropping off, well he did pretty well.
you also need the occassional quarter million dollar personal injury lawsuit,which frankly, happens all the time. usually car accidents and motorcycle shit |

My biggest problem will be thinking "why the fuck did i go deep in debt at a top law school instead of free at local TTT" |

what sucks is the various shit that comes up legally...its impossible to become a master at something unless you specialize...and you cant do that in a smaller community |

advising a client on the pros and cons of employing an irrevocable trust is far different than the shit you undoubtedly did in biglaw.
go for it. i would go somewhere near hometown, though...where you have more connections. |

Diesel's life is 180 because he can't pass a test of minimal competency to be a lawyer and thus enjoys the "benefit" of avoiding law (while having a four year sinkhole in his resume and having no income whatsoever).
Moving to some hillbilly town and being a country lawyer is 180.
