Add LA attorneys on linkedin who you have some type of connection with. Visit and meet with them. When their firms are hiring make sure you get a good word from them. LA is a very “who do you know” type of city.

It’s a very expensive city and I’ve found that most of my attorney friends (except those in big law) aren’t compensated fairly in relation to the amount of work they do and costs of living in LA. There are positions out there that pay well. But many of us make 80-90k with a few years of experience and pay $3000+ in rent or mortgage, so theres little left for anything but basic necessities, loans, etc.
