What is the standard beginning wage for criminal lawyers?

The starting wage for a lawyer depends on what school you went to. For example for a person whom went to a private school their starting wage would be approximately $60,000. For a person whom went to a public school the starting wage would be approximately $55,000 because in theoretical probability a person who went to a public school wouldn't be as well educated as a person whom went to a private school. Also it would depend on your qualifications. I am now a defence barrister and i am on wage of approximately $110,000 that is approximately $9100 per month. I hope my information was helpfull. Been a barrister or even a lawyer is a good field to work in with unexpected things around each corner if you are looking for an exillarating career become a lawyer and work your way up to a barrister.
