He's a self employed general practice lawyer in downeast maine. His clients aren't exactly a bunch of high rollers - they're lucky if they have all of their teeth. He also does a lot of court appointed work which is only $50 an hour. I know- "only" - but a law firm has TONS of overhead - rent, office doo dads, the secretary, classes, lawyer stuff, travel around the state for court...by the time money has been put back into the office, there isn't much to bring home. Plus, we're a family of 6, 3 of them boys who are only going to eat more as they hit puberty. He gets paid in furniture, fences, and lobster. Nice, but don't pay the insurance bills.
