Reply to comment by Guygan in Moving Soon from Alabama any advice? by ElderberrySingle2833

But you where still able to make it? If trying to work as Attorney fails there what are some states that you personally would recommend? I'm open to uprooting and moving anywhere (exceptions being: California and Alabama)

"work as Attorney"

Too broad.

Narrow the areas of the law you will practice in. An area you currently are not interested in may be the area you practice in simply because that is where the need rests.

Maine does not have a huge amount of large industry, ie, "large business clients," and those that are here are tied up by the bigger firms. You might consider criminal defense (DUI galore), family law, estates & trusts (wills), personal injury (MVA's) or learning the insurance coverage game. It could take a while to become established. Be patient. If you are prone to give up easily, stay south of Maryland.
