Yet, I was wondering if it would impact my application if I get one from one of my previous Community college professors. is that ok?

plus, how many LORs should I look at getting?

Thanks.

Are you currently in undergraduate? Most law schools require current students to provide two letters from academic instructors.

Don't think it would hurt unless they don't know you/wouldn't write a good rec in the first place.

Does this "well known attorney" know you well? Can he/she speak to your academic ability/work ethic/motivation/something along those lines? That's what's important, not how well known the letter writer is.

Most schools require 1 or 2 LORs but will accept up to 3 or 4. A letter from a community college professor is definitely ok.

If I were you, I would get 1 LOR from a community college professor and 1 from a professor from the college/university I got my degree from. I would only get a third letter if you have an employer who can write a good one, have a faculty adviser who can write about some significant involvement you had in an extracurricular, or someone who can attest to some other community service you are involved with. Another professor could work too, but you don't want to send in a bunch of redundant letters. Of course, this "well known attorney" could work as a third recommender, just make sure you're getting a LOR from this person for the right reasons.

Just write the letters yourself and forge the signatures of important people, like Abraham Lincoln and Fonzie.
