What do established lawyers generally make?

250 - 350 K sound pretty accurate?

I find this hard to believe.

That's a lot of freaking money.

As a point of reference, my buddy just finished grad school and is working for one of the larger firms in Columbia (medium size market) and is making around 90k, good money...but not the average 160k everyone talks about.

Define make?

If you are a plaintiff attorney you could hit a multi million case

Lulz. Maybe in NYC. We just interviewed about a dozen kids. This is not a big firm, we are kind of boutique, but we are also not just some scrappy arse general practice. Kids with 2-3 yrs experience were all asking for about 65-70K. Now, Detroit isn't Chicago, but it's also not buttfrick Egypt, either.

It all depends on the type of law. The only guy in law who I am somewhat jealous of is a patent attorney. He has the best case scenario because the firm has consistent income by billing for patent applications, but then the attorneys take cuts of multimillion dollar plaintiff's cases.

If you really want to know, google Robert half legal salary guide. It lists estimated salaries by firm size and attorney experience and then provides an adjustment ratio depending on the market.
