Patent Attorney
(OP)
I have my BSME (graduated 1 year ago) and have recently been thinking about going to law school and pursuing a career as a Patent Attorney.
If anyone has any advise about this, I would love to hear it. Thanks!

Either way do a search, I get these results from a simple search I'm sure you can do better.

One cheap way of doing it is work at a company that pays for education and go to night school. My company does this and I know of people who now have law degrees paid for by the company. Sweet deal.

RE: Patent Attorney
Why do you say you need an M.S.? I don't think that's true.

That Patent Bar looks pretty hard... not on a technical level, but on a "memorize all rules about patents" level. Check out a sample test.

It would also be a good idea to get your start working as a patent examiner for the patent agency.
When I had no engineering experience I got a cold reception from firms. I think they are looking for some real world experience from their Patent Agents. Maybe it is best to try to find a patent agent or lawyer and offer them lunch, and just ask?
