How much does a beggining normal lawyer make? -

Tell me in numbers. An example answer is quot;a lawyer makes 10,000 a monthquot;

It depends on where you went to school, how well you did, and what kind of law you practice. A legal aid lawyer working on New York City might earn as little as $30,000 a year, no matter where she went to school. A second-tier law school student who did well in his classes and went into corporate law might start at $125,000 per year. A Harvard Law graduate who started at a big corporate firm might get $150,000 per year. Everyone else starts somewhere in the middle.

a lot less than one that can spell beginning correctly... $500

I m sorry, but what? I am a lawyer, who went to a decent school and the 1-2 mil is way off even if you are at a big firm. It depends on how long you ve been practicing. Right out of law school 60K, five years out maybe 100k if you are lucky. Don t be disillusioned into thinking lawyers are rich, most are not. Most of us are also swimming in loans from school which cuts our income practically in half.

about less than $90,000 a year if your just starting , but dont worry your pay will increase every year because being a lawyer is a hard job so they will increase pay once you gain some experience. I know this cuz my friend s cousin is a lawyer who just started

Too much!

it depends, are you a prosecutor? If so they you make mentally ill people worse.

It largely depends on how good your law school is and how well you did. Assuming you were in the top 10% of your class you will start at about the following in a private sector job with the following type of schools: 1st tier schools: $150,000-$200,000/ year 2nd tier: 100,000-150,000/yr 3rd tier: 75,000-125,000/yr 4th tier: 50,000-100,000/yr

It depends on if he or she wins her cases or not. Assuming that this lawyer wins every case (which is not real), (Is is a criminal case or civil case by the way?) then I d have to take a wild guess and state he would charge anywhere from $75 per hour to $175 per hour. A new lawyer just out of law school could probably earn 3-10K a month, more if he has many clients.

Define normal lawyer!...Jennifer f 1-3 million a year? I m positive many lawyers would love to hear that!

Do you mean Beginning Lawyer? LOL...Depends on the kind of attorney you are talking about...A GREAT RUTHLESS one...usually specializing in criminal law ....Skys the limit

It depends if it s your own private practice or not.

The salary a young associate attorney or judicial law clerk makes depends on the location of the attorney practicing, the area of practice, type of position held, rank in law school, and a few other variables. In my particular area in the midwest the pay scale for 1st year associate attorneys and judicial clerks is between $30K/yr. to $130K/yr. This depends on the exact location that you plan on practicing, your school of graduation, etc. Most of my classmatest that graduated in May of 07 are making between $30K-$50K a year. Along with the salary that you are making as an attorney you will likely carry a high student loan debt. Most attorneys have student loans ranging anywhere from $300/m. to $1000/m. drastically decreasing the income of attorneys off the top. A first year associate at most firms are not the attorneys that you see representing clients in court. The first year associates are the quot;gruntsquot; who are usually in the office doing the research and writing for the attorneys. It is pretty rare that a first year associate will come out and represent clients immediately unless that person is working in a very small firm. The associate will usually do the research and the drafting of documents for the attorneys for the first year or two.

a lawyer gets about 1-3 Millions a yr.
