How is daily work life like for a lawyer?
nicesinging1 asked:
I just wanna get a general sense of what a typical daily workday is like for a lawyer who doesn’t work at court but rather in the office setting most of the time.
What are the typical job duties like for real estate, patent, immigration, family, corporate lawyer? How much travel, phone calls, and reviewing documents is involved in work? How many hrs do lawyers typically work?

I have an aunt thats an Immigration lawyer .. most of the times shes at her work place and not in court.
She gets up early and stays late.
She sits at her desk and there are people that come on a daily basis because theyre petitioning for their relatives to be here in America so they come in to ask questions about papers and make notaries and copy’s and transfer money to peoples accounts in the same place.
She also carries around this beeper thats from her company ( she works with a bunch of other lawyers ) and she gets paged and called so she would report back to the place ( the meeting area ) when there is something to discuss. She gets a whole hell of a bunch of phone calls from regular people asking her questions. She doesnt travel much. A regular day for her is at the office doing this and reviewing peoples documents. I never asked her how much she gets but when we hired a lawyer to speak for my cousin who got arrested .. he took 550 dollars for speaking for 5 minutes. Thats like 110 a minute. LOL. Depends on how good you are and what level. Sanaz Banü
