Well, it depends. Don't know your GPA or LSAT scores (have you taken the LSAT? That could make a big difference if you score REALLY well on that) and i'm not familiar with the undergrad academic reputation of your undergrad. But you don't sound to confident in your undergrad record (which isn't bad, it's good to be honest with yourself), which is not a good thing.
If you've got crappy grades, if you pulled off a very solid LSAT you could probably get in SOMEWHERE, but that doesn't mean that you should go there. Going to a lower-reputation law school isn't going to help you get a job in one of the bigger cities, at all.
There's the issue of getting into law school, then there's the issue of whether or not you could get the job of your dreams or on the way to your dreams after...
I get the impression that you're not really sure what the heck you want to do. For those reasons, I'd strongly advise you to take some time and work and figure out what you want to do. Don't go wasting money or time on something that's not right for you and not going to give you what you want.
Law school's a HUGE investment, both time and money ($85K for me! and I had some scholarship money and live in a lower cost of living area), and you shouldn't do it if you're not sure.
