I have a BS in engineering and am considering the field of law. I have heard many positives (money, job satisfaction, etc.) and negatives (long hours, etc.) about careers in law. I was told that a career as a patent attorney is quite different than a typical career in law. Therefore, I ask everyone out there: what are the typical working conditions of a patent attorney (hours, tasks, salary, etc.)? I would prefer that those who are patent attorneys or know patent attorneys to answer this question. Thanks...

You can get that information on the governments website of www.lmi.state.yourstate.us (Labor Market Information) they will have a description, what is involved, etc. Good luck!!

As with anything, it depends. If you work for a high-profile, large law firm, expect to be very busy, with little personal/social life.
If you work in a small office . . . you probably have more down time. It also depends on your workload.
