What I dont like is the factfinding and the emotional aspect. Hate it when clients cannot be contacted or treat me as their therapist, smlj also tell me.

Every week take on one PG and miti, flat fee of 3k (if the one charge only kind one), ez 12k per month alr. Minus overheads etc (or if you WFH), ~10k per month. Same for fam work if simplified uncontested. Draft a few wills here and there got pocket money to buy mlbb skin lmao
From my experience in community law, criminal law is interesting as every case has its own set of unique facts and it feels rewarding when your client receives a lighter custodial sentence or a fine.

However, I dislike contentious divorces with a passion. The legal work itself is alright but clients drain you emotionally. Immeasurable amount of times I nearly lost my temper providing advice to them and reminding them that it is not about "punishing" the other side. Of course, uncontentious divorces are much more pleasant to handle and it's relatively easy money.

I have done PIMA/NIMA cases in my previous firm and that is an area of law I vowed not to be involved again.
