re: Life as a Lawyer Advice Needed

The last full rate sheet I saw for an insurance defense firm was from 2021 and it started at $195 and went up to $255 for attorneys. The paralegal was billed out at $145.
Since then I have more often seen legal bills for experienced New Orleans litigation attorneys billing high $200s and low $300s.
But from what I am reading here it seems that a guy with a title/loan/attorney/snowball stand in Bunkie who makes half his income from the actual practice of law is probably a better indicator of the median attorney in Louisiana.

There are a lot of areas not BR or Nola in Louisiana.

Even within Nola, this is the rare exception. Nola isn't some business hub, so even the "big law (LA)" population isn't super huge. Now think about all the lawyers in the Nola metro grinding out their living off the poor population (non-MVA cases). Divorces, criminal, etc. That population, even in Nola, is yuge.
And, again, you're ignoring all of the lawyers getting their money from government in some way. VERY few of them are making more than $125k/year. Certain government-baked nonprofits and state agencies start offers in the low-mid 40s.
