[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Open your own shop. You'll make way more than $40-$50k doing court appointed work alone. I left my private practice job with a small firm with big firm hours and have never looked back. I went from making under $100k and working 60-80 hours/week to making over $100 and working 30-40 hours per week (more if I have a trial).[/quote] What jurisdiction? I have no criminal law background other than crim law class. Would I still get court appointed work?[/quote] No! I laugh when I hear people say, "oh, just do court appointed work." You have to have experience and prove that you know what you're doing before courts will trust you to represent criminal defendants. And if you don't want to do nonprofit or government work, you will surely find court appointed misdemeanor defense (where you'll have to start) beneath you. [/quote]
