My husband who has been doing his line of work for 37 years, works 12 hours a day plus more paperwork after he gets home. My son works 11 hours a day and more during some periods,plus working out from home during the weekend. My son-in-law works more than the OP. No one has spoken of quitting his job.

I think the OP doesn’t like being a lawyer.
And there’s nothing wrong with that.
He needs to have a backup job before quitting. That’s the mature way of handling the matter.
