Unfortunately, the vast majority of states require someone to go to law school (and pass the bar exam) before they can practice. So that is three years of graduate school after your 4-year undergraduate degree. Some states might still let you take the bar exam without actually going to law school, but they will require proof of some amount of work (years) assisting in a legal capacity. You won't be able to just sign up for the bar exam just because you want to take it. The cheapest option is to live in a state with a good public University system, be smart enough to get in, and hope their law school tuition doesn't break the bank. However, sending legal-sounding letters doesn't require a law degree at all. You only need that when you go to court. However, if you have been vibing your way through threatening legal sounding shit, and it does go to court, you may be in a world of hurt when no actual smarty-pants lawyer takes your case.
