Top 7 Challenges of Being a Lawyer and How to
Overcome Them
2
1. The Long Hours

• You begin to miss important family events. Your
  social life starts disappearing. You start
  drowning in paperwork.
• These personal sacrifices may benefit your
  clients, but you can only go on this way for so
  long. Eventually, you'll need to learn how to
  balance your life as a lawyer. Start by setting
  realistic goals for yourself and work your way up
  from there.

2. Stress

• Making a mistake as a lawyer can cost clients
  dearly. Lost cases can result in heavy fines and
  jail time in some situations. Since you're only
  human, there's a good chance that you'll feel bad
  when one of your mistakes has such consequences.
• Remember that you're only human. You should
  always try your best, but you won't win every
  case. The sooner you come to this realization,
  the better.

3. New Technologies

• Many lawyers are now expected to understand new
  and emerging technologies. This expectation only
  adds work to lawyers' plates.Not only that, but
  some of these technologies are taking jobs away
  from lawyers. Several companies are now using
  technology to perform tasks they once would have
  hired lawyers to take care of.
• Fortunately, lawyers can adapt to the presence of
  these new technologies. They need only acquaint
  themselves with this new tech. Doing so will
  allow them to make their skill sets more
  competitive.

4. An Increasingly Competitive Job Market

• The sheer number of people who study law these
  days.
• The supply of lawyers exceeds the demand for
  lawyers by a significant amount. As a result,
  some lawyers have trouble finding work after
  obtaining their degrees.
• One of the best pieces of advice we can give you
  here is to elevate your skill set. Become the
  type of lawyer that's hard to find by picking up
  valuable skills. Learning new technologies and
  entering niche legal markets, for example, are
  excellent ways to stand out.

5. Clients' Reluctance to Spend Money on Legal
Services

• Many of these technologies offer the same value
  at lower costs.
• The parties that do spend money on legal services
  aren't typically willing to spend much. There are
  several lawyers on the market, so clients can go
  elsewhere if they don't like your prices.
• That said, you shouldn't drastically lower your
  prices if you want to be successful in this
  field. You should instead provide value that your
  competitors don't. If you do so, you can make
  your clients understand why your services are
  worth what you charge.

6. "Guilty" Clients

• Not all of your clients are going to "innocent."
  You will occasionally represent clients who
  committed the crimes they were accused of.
• So what do you do in these cases?
• Keep things professional. And remember that you
  chose this career for a reason. Hopefully, you'll
  find that this reason makes everything worth it
  in the end.

7. Assumptions About Your Character

• More than a few lawyers have to deal with
  unwanted assumptions about their character.
  Criminal defense lawyers, for example, are often
  judged for defending their clients.
• Unfortunately, there's no surefire solution here.
  The only thing you can do is learn to accept that
  people will judge you. You should also learn to
  accept that their judgments simply don't matter.
