I worked for a mid-size firm doing civil litigation when I got out of school; handled a lot of business/contract disputes, etc. but I knew immediately that it wasn't my thing. Couldn't really do much at the time because I had bills so I stuck it out for about a year and a half before I started slowly doing some things on the side (personal injury cases, contract drafting and review, etc.) before I had enough saved up to safely go out on my own.
Got licensed with a title insurance underwriter and opened up a title company shortly thereafter. These days, like 80% of the work coming through my law firm stems from stuff that arises out of the title company. So it's a lot of real estate document drafting/review, short sale negotiation, foreclosure defense, lien and code enforcement mitigation, etc.
I'm blessed in that I really enjoy what I do and I NEVER have to go to court, which was a pain in the ass for me. My office essentially runs on autopilot as I have staff in place that basically do everything, I just review and manage at this point. All my office files and stuff are in the cloud so it allows me to travel whenever I like and I'm still able to get work done as if I was in the office, which is amazing.
