Hello, everyone. I need some insights and wisdoms from people who are lawyers or know a lot about the inside and out of being a lawyer.
Growing up in my community, I had so many people telling me how glamorous life of a lawyer is, how much money they make, how nice are their houses and cars, how respected they are in their community. It almost sounded like being a lawyer is one of the most fantastic careers in the world with hardly any problems.
But as life is, I am sure there are downsides of being a lawyer that many ordinary people don’t know about. 1. What are the downsides of being a lawyer? 2. At the end, do you believe the good sides far outweigh the bad sides? 3. Would you recommend the career to someone who values deeply on family time and enjoying life?
Thanks in advance for any insights.

An ex-coworker is suing the company that we worked for and is also accusing me of sexual harrasment, I’m a straight guy and far from sexually harrasing an other fellow man. I’m very concern, and need to talk to a lawyer but don’t know what kind of lawyer.

I have received a job offer in Wellington, but it is not on the long term shortage list. Do i need a lawyer when doing the work permit and residency applications?Does it make a difference using a lawyer?
Im South African. Could i do the work permit application on my own as most consultants are a rip-off. Could anybody recommend me a decent consultant?

Jack B. asked:


On every TV show/movie that involved Lawyers, you see them in the courtroom arguing a case. Personally, I want to be a lawyer that spends more time at the office than public speaking/aruging at the courts. What type of lawyer spends the most time at the office instead of the courts?? Corporate Lawyers?? Intellectual Property Lawyers?? Some people want to argue their case in front of a jury or a judge, I do not. I would like to give people legal counsel but not have to really defend anyone by arguing their case.

Is it worth it?
