I don't disagree with you - i've some law school friends working in small firms on profit sharing basis and they're doing very comfortably. better than some big firm junior partners tbh

Honestly depends on what you want la, unless you are the top 5% of lawyers who become EP at big/international firms, you'll probably earn more as JP of a smaller firm (and can control your hours better), than anyone stuck in the middle ranks of the bigger firms.
And yes, Chinatown Lawyers do earn quite a lot given that their expenses are quite low and mostly 1/2 man eating the whole pie.
