If you are thinking of starting a law practice or growing one with little or no capital, you need to get the book, “Starting & Growing a Law Practice without Breaking the Bank.
It was written based on personal experience and research. I started my practice 11 years ago in the middle of the 2008/2009 recession with about $500 and I have grown the practice significantly over the years using affordable and available resources.
I also coach solo practitioners and small firm attorneys. https://www.amazon.com/Starting-Growing-Practice-Without-Breaking/dp/1099523303

Yes. I found that, if you have the patience and stomach for the difficult cases and clients, family law can be rewarding, allows for growth in a more niche area with significant room for rate increases over time, and a lot more courtroom and advocacy experience. I’m not sure many people like or love family law by any stretch, but I’ve found it to be a much more rewarding practice area.
Family court has a lot more scheduling flexibility and opportunities for rate increase. However, it will drive you to the absolute brink of sanity,
So choose wisely ! The good thing is, no one wants to work in family court and only the strong survive, so if you do a decent job, the clients are always flowing in without even having to advertise.

Never done corporate law but I’ve been in family law for about 8 years and I’m anxious to get out of it. IMO the vibe really changed during Covid and I’m finding both clients and opposing counsel more and more difficult every year.
Mentor
Highly contentious, deadlines are incredibly short, clients don’t want to listen, total lack of civility from opposing counsel, judges are unpredictable, everything is an “emergency” when kids are involved. And, at the end of the day, no one “wins” in a divorce, so even if you get what you ask for, clients are rarely happy with the outcome. Just overall very stressful work.
