...work with others? Would it be better pay?
Would you get more business?
Would New York City be an ideal place for this since there is a rise of crime up there more which=more need of lawyers?
 
It depends on the type of law practiced. For corporate or tort, it would be better to be with a big firm but it is also more pressure. For family it would be better to be alone or with another lawyer.

For criminal law, it can be either or. But if business really takes off, you could be stuck turning clients away or referring them. Most lawyers give referrals to their friends anyhow but you might get a reputation for turning away clients and then your own business falls off. That is why it might be best to have one other with you. You can also split the overhead.
