'Disbarred and Disgraced Lolyer' would make a nice addition to the thread title. A licence suspension would really chap his arse, but it seems very difficult to do unless you show malfeasance in the practice of law or do something especially heinous.
I think if he's disbarred he's going to take his ball(do) and go home, for the same reason he isn't going to return to Christ. "You can't fire me, I quit, and I don't even like these sour grapes anyways. The church and the law are corrupt, ree, etc". I really doubt he'd ever admit wrongdoing and repent, morally or ethically, so Christianity and the law will become incel prudes he's above (SNOOOOORT).Nick started in the Church, and perhaps it appears paradoxical, but that will make it harder for him to return. He already left the path, and it will take more for him to get back onto it. He is his own worst enemy for having rejected it once before.
I’ll defer to the lawyers but I doubt it. My impression is that outside of the big firms it’s far from guaranteed that you’ll make good money lawyering.
He could maintain his lifestyle from before his streaming career, and he could over the course of a decade build his income to a reasonably comfortable level. If he partnered at a firm, advanced at a public law office, or became a judge, his earning potential would go up. But for any of those to happen, He would need to grind for experience for years, like any career.If he hadn't fucked it all up he could have probably made at least a decent living, but the really lucrative in a small town is often locked up and the local wealthy families have the lawyer(s) they have because their granddaddies had his granddaddy as a lawyer. And those six figure associate jobs at a big firm? They expect you to work for them. Nick has more or less disqualified himself permanently but even if he were younger, they'd be wanting 70 hour weeks and the like.
It was very confusing to me when I started watching Nick and found out he started his own firm right out of law school. This isn't unheard of, but it's pretty wacky and definitely naive and narcissistic. Law school teaches you the basic elements of areas of law, the bar exam certifies you paid attention. You specialize after you pass, just like a doctor specializes. But doctors don't pass medical school and set up as a pediatrician. They have years of residency learning how to actually be a doctor. It's the same for lawyers. You learn how to do your job on the job, because each area of law is different and your job will be different. Nick becoming a garden variety defense attorney with his own office with literally NO mentor or training is ludicrous and his clients are rubes. It speaks volumes about his ignorance and narcissism that he believes he could serve clients properly and to the fullness of their right to a vigorous defense.
He has the opportunity to get some mentoring from that firm he almost rented space from. But he instead took great offense at some ribbing from a potential mentor, who dared to offer him a crackhead as a first client and question the almighty Rekieta wearing shorts and drinking whiskey on the clock.
Now that he is sober
