[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm not a lawyer myself, but per DH who is one - personal injury lawyers are really looked down upon by the rest of the bar.  But some are quite successful (think John Edwards).  DH knows a guy from his law school who makes literally millions a year - I bet that's more than 90+% of their graduating class.  But I am guessing that's more of an exception than the rule.

Point is - you never know.[/quote]

Cool, thanks. Just curious because I guess all the lawyers I know are either affiliated with a firm or work for a trade association, etc. I don't know any lawyers around here who are in this kind of practice for themselves.

And to the other PP, I stated "mid size city" to stress that he wasn't a DC area lawyer, since I'm sure there are fewer firm and in house counsel opportunites in non DC places.

No, he's not an ex boyfriend or crush. My really funny, pretty, sweet friend was hung up on all through high school and part of college and none of us knew why. He treated her horribly. Anyhoo, he was pretty rich and because of his academic record I figured he might have bought his way into law school, if that is possible. There are so many lawyer postings on this board warning that if you don't go to a top tier law school (which I'm pretty sure this school isn't) and graduate top 10 in your class or whatever you won't get a good job, so just wondering if it was true in real life. But sounds like he could be doing well professionally so no way of knowing if that is true or not. [/quote]
