Building A Law Firm

I think it's about time for another Q&A episode. Here are the questions. As always, if you want the answers, you've got to listen to the show! ------------------------------------- At what law firm income, does it become practical to hire an additional paralegal or attorney? - Matthew ------------------------------------- what are you currently using your VA's for? Are they full time, part time or per project? are you afraid you don't have enough work for them? - Adam ------------------------------------- I am graduating in May and taking the bar exam in july. I live in Sacramento, CA. My question is: what is a good field/speciality to get into? My plan is to hang my shingle after passing the bar. - Elliot ------------------------------------- What kind of law should a 3L / new lawyer should go into in these times, particularly in NYC? Besides estate planning of course. Tax? PI? Criminal? I'll be graduating in a couple of years and would like to decide soon. - Ankit ----------------------------
