Depends on what kind of law you like and what type of legal work you want to do, but there are plenty of legal jobs in this range with a better work life balance. Try looking at non litigation govt positions.
If you dont want to work for the govt look at smaller more relaxed firms that do transactional work.
Save money. Retire early.

Go in house. Commercial attorneys have good lifestyles and make decent money. In-house corporate can still have bad hours (speaking from personal experience).
Do you like the work itself? If so just look for a smaller firm with more lax billables. I briefly left litigation to go in house and quickly realized it wasn’t litigation I didn’t like it was my firm. At a way better firm now and pretty happy.
