Odds of Hanging On
Once you find success in this career, don't you dare let it go. Don't even think about it. America loves its celebrities, and celebrities love their vices. Put those two facts together and what do you get? A lot of wealthy stars with a whole lot of problems. And you, the high-power attorney with a great reputation, are the one they'll run to when they need help.
Your continued success in this industry will depend on word-of-mouth and consistent results. Once your rep has been established, troubled celebs will continue to knock on your door, begging you to get them out of trouble. Sure, there are jealous newbies trying to steal away some of your business. But people know you, and they know you get the job done. And that's all that matters in the entertainment legal biz.
