Understanding the state and city laws is paramount for any Denver bankruptcy attorney, if you do not understand the way the bankruptcy filing process works intimately, you will never be successful. Being a great Denver bankruptcy lawyer takes more than just know-how, you have to be able to be a recognized member of the community, you have to build relationships and manage your time to best increase your opportunity for a successful law practice.
Opening a successful law practice can take a decade or more. Obtaining the credibility in your city and state is the most difficult part of the process by far. Many people pass the BAR and become lawyers, few of them ever run their own firms. Practicing law is not something that can be tried and set aside, it is a lifestyle choice that affects everything you do from the top-down.
Being a lawyer means upholding a particular standard of ethics and dignity that enables your practice to shine above the other bottom-dwelling law-types. There are many lawyers who would lie, cheat and steal for their clients, and that is unacceptable to me No successful practice ever endorsed unethical or illegal actions.
Spending the ten years after I get out of college just trying to get the respect I need to be anywhere near successful does not sound like an appealing use of time from my perspective. I feel my time is much better spent attending concerts and having fun with my friends. If you want to become a lawyer, I hope you planned on putting those activities on hold for awhile, because you won’t be going to any concerts anytime soon with your law practice looming on the horizon.
