Atul’s Answer
I know a person who became a lawyer. After becoming a lawyer and passing the state exam, you'll probably work as a clerk under a senior lawyer. You might wait a few years before representing your own client.
Don't worry about finding clients early on unless you start your own practice. Without experience, it's hard to imagine who would seek your advice or hire you as an attorney.
Focus on studying for the LSAT and getting a high score to enter a top law school.

Becoming a full-fledged lawyer typically requires seven years of education: four years of undergraduate studies and three years of law school. After law school, you'll need to pass the bar exam in the state where you intend to practice. The difficulty in getting clients and finding a job in a law firm can vary. While many law school graduates secure positions in law firms, competition can be fierce, especially at prestigious firms. Building a client base as an independent attorney can also be challenging, requiring networking, marketing, and reputation-building efforts. Success in the legal profession often depends on factors like specialization, location, and your ability to stand out in a competitive market.
