Hi everybody,
First of all I am working on my English, so don't be mad for my grammar.
I live in the USA for 2 years. I have a foreign law degree from Hungary, I did the evaluation, this is a bachelors and a masters law degree (j.D.). I worked in my native country as lawyer in a law firm. About 2 and half years remain to be an attorney on my own feet. So I came here /family decision/, I am not sure wanna stay here long time or not. My dream is working as a lawyer. My question is: Is it worth to go to the University (again), learn, sit for the bar exam? Can a foreign lawyer be a good lawyer in the states. Can you speak ever so good english? Can I have ever job as lawyer, is it possible? Or I have to go back my native country?
If somebody can give me advice, it would be helpful.
