First you go to college, typically 4 years.
Then three years of law school.
Criminal Defense attorneys’ earnings vary greatly from lawyer to lawyer and region to region. New criminal defense attorneys typically do not make much money, especially compared to civil defense lawyers.
College: 4 years.
Law School: 3 years. Then pass the bar examination.
“How much do they make a year?” That depends on how good they are. Top defense attorneys can make millions. Many make $50,000 per year or less.
