I know everyone thinks lawyers make ALOT of money, but I’ve read that immigration lawyers tend to vary in income. Im going to go to the University of Tennessee and wavering between an immigration lawyer or agricultural economics/business. (I really dont want to leave TN) Any ideas of which is and will be needed in the future? And that contains an income at least the same as a teachers?
Oh my! I think you made a big mistake in your question….
You used "lawyer" and "respectable" in the same sentence. Shamie, shamie…

Obama says the insurance companies are holding us hostage, but it’s also the trial lawyers. We can’t have tort reform because the trial lawyers won’t let us. (They contributed heavily to Obama’s campaign).
trial lawyers are Obama’s largest financial support group. That’s why he hasn’t said word one about tort reform.
This is not just about health care. Trial lawyers often file suits that they don’t expect to win. They just want a settlement, of which they get 40 percent. Forty percent of $50,000 is $20,000, which is not bad for an hour of work.
Just wanted to know because I know people cannot adjust their status if they are illegal. Do they lie or try to use a loop hole in the law. I know they have to go home to mexico or wherever to adjust their status, to get a green card or something. What do they try to do
some just try to make money off illegals! they know that will never get status, it is funny if you ask me, the taker getting took. they claim to file different papers, charge them and then just tell them it did not work and bye-bye. Illegals are so much into trying to do things illegally and to sneak in their status with no red tape that they are becoming victims of unscrupulous lawyers, it is karma.
Alexander St. Clair Abrams (1845-1931) was a writer who owned newspapers and railroads in the Southern United States and also published under the names A. S. Abrams and A. Sinclair Abrams. He was known as a “volcanic Creole.” During the American Civil War, he served in Company A. Withers’ Light Artillery, as a private at the Siege of Vicksburg. In 1862 he was discharged from the army on account of sickness and being unable to return to his home, New Orleans, obtained a position in the office of the Vicksburg Whig where he remained until its destruction by fire in the early part of 1863, and was taken prisoner and paroled after the surrender when he moved on to Atlanta. While there he was associated with Jared Whitaker’s Daily Intelligencer and published a description of Vicksburg’s capture and a novel called The Trials of the Soldier’s Wife (1864). After the war, he took the loyalty oath and moved to New York City. By 1870, he was the foreign editor of the New York Herald. His health broke, and after founding the Daily Herald in Atlanta he settled in Florida, where he was a prominent lawyer.
There’s no love lost between Marla and Carolyn Sutton. Carolyn has never forgiven Marla for leaving Hairstyle Heaven to open her own place, especially since Marla’s clientele grew as Carolyn’s faded away. Carolyn retaliated by relocating near Marla, but couldn’t put the highlights back in the balance sheet. Still, it’s a nasty shock when Marla enters the meter room behind the shopping center that houses both salons and tumbles over her rival’s body. Carolyn’s neck is broken and a hank of her hair is missing. Marla’s powerful curiosity would have been enough to send her snooping for clues, but when Detective Dalton Vail, her very significant other, actually asks her for help, nothing can hold her back. Her quest becomes even more personal when Wilda Cleaver, Carolyn’s trusted psychic and new owner of her salon, insists that Carolyn’s spirit is begging Marla to solve her murder. Adding a dose of blackmail, Wilda warns that someone Marla loves is in great danger but won’t give details until Marla cracks the case. Marla’s got her work cut out for her-poor Carolyn was far from popular…and maybe even farther from honest. There’s Carolyn’s snubbed sister, Linda, who only inherited an unspecified, “valuable” collection that appears to be missing, the chiropractor whose shady dealings Carolyn had uncovered, and the immigration lawyer who apparently had been issuing suspicious visas for Hairstyle Heaven’s French-born staff. Add to all this some surprising news from Detective Vail and a blossoming romance for Marla’s mother, and Marla’s well-coiffed head is soon spinning. It will take all her skill to untangle the snarl of suspects, trim the list down to unmask the murderer-and learn what’s behind Wilda’s eerie premonitions before someone Marla loves is next.
Does he think tort reform is not needed because of those donations?
Or is it a coincidence that he now sees things the way they do?
Why would they bother with donations if he already saw things their way?
Does anybody know how much money insurance companies donated to the Bush/McCain campaigns during the past 9 years ?
I would like to know the attorney fees for filing an advance parole document. Thank You
I just needed to know what’s the nominal fee that an attorney charges to do so.
it usually cost about $250 to $350. you don’t need attorney to file for advance parole. you can file it yourself.

What can I do with a Law Degree other than be a trial lawyer?
I’m about to get my history degree, and law school is sounding more and more appealing, but I really don’t want to be a lawyer. What else can I do with a law degree?
Please be aware of what you are proposing on getting yourself into. Please do more research first.
Reminder: We are in a World-wide Recession.
Warning> Jobs in the field of Law are drying up fast!! This is just not a good field to invest time and/or money into. This is a SHRINKING, crumbling, and dying vocational field. Many reasons. Many people today (mistakenly) think they can do their own legal work, thanks to the Internet. Also, we simply already have way too many Legal Professionals - we have an absolute glut!! ("Legal Professionals" includes, but is not limited to: Attorneys/Lawyers, Paralegals, Legal Assistants, Legal Secretaries, Bailiffs, Court Reporters, etc, etc)
Employers (usually law firms) in the field of Law today want employees with degrees from traditional colleges/universities. Those "certificates" you see advertised aren’t worth the paper they are printed on - they are generally scams. (I found this out the hard way.)
Cost of law school to be lawyer, approx $150,000+.
Be prepared to take on a lot of debt.
Even if you finish law school, you won’t be able to find a job when you are done. Since this vocational field is shrinking, many new attorneys/lawyers are, themselves, having to work "down" as Paralegals, Legal Assistants, Legal Secretaries, Bailiffs, Court Reporters, etc, etc, to simply try to keep some of their bills paid <<this would be your competition. And the competition is fierce!!
Now… the law schools know this, but they won’t tell you the truth >that the job market/economy is just saturated with way too many Legal Professionals. Instead the schools will feed you a fairytale and will lie to you. The root of the problem is we have too many law schools. We are in a recession, and the schools are fighting for their own survival - they will tell students anything to get to the students’ money. (Which is why they won’t tell you the truth about the job market for the field of Law.) And these schools continue to recruit and churn out even more graduates………….
If you don’t believe me, then just do a search here on Yahoo Answers to see what other posters are saying about the current status of the field of Law. Call some local law firms - ask to speak to the Manager of Human Resources - ask them if they are hiring; ask them what they think about job availability in the field of Law………………
In the book "So You Want to be a Lawyer?" by Marianne Calabrese and Susanne Calabrese (ISBN 0-88391-136-1): "The United States has more lawyers than any other country in the world. About 38,000 students graduate >each year< from the 200+ law schools in the United States. The competition is very keen for jobs and clients." - Even Associate Justice Antonin Scalia (who served on the U.s. Supreme Court for more than 20 years) says there are too many lawyers. (9/14/2008)

If you want a job when you are done with your studies, consider and look into the fields of >>>Healthcare or Information Technology! I spoke to a career counselor from Jobs and Family Services, and HE told me that these areas are where the jobs are, and future job availability! and scholarships!
Good luck.
