There are few things that you have to take into consideration

1) big firm or small firm? Usually newly admitted lawyer get roughly around 3k-3.5k for small or medium size firm and 5k for big firm like zico etc(usually with increment +- 500 each year) (subject to the location tho, salary quoted above is for kl/selangor)

2) being employed or running your own firm? i can only say a lawyer will never get rich if you're working for others unless you're a partner in equity which entitle you for profit sharing.
