I would like to know specifically how much money you make per year. Be honest. Also include what city you work in and what type of lawyer you are. Thank you

That depends completely on their position.
- they may be working for legal aid and make $40k per year
- could be working for a law firm and make 80K
- public defenders 35k
- partners in a firm vary by cases, etc... 100k to 1million+
