JD or LLM for employment in NYC?
If i had an LLM from Oxford and passed the NY bar, would it be difficult for me to get hired by a firm?(witohut a JD?)
Or would I need an LLM or JD from a US law school, such as Yale, Harvard, Stanford?
I know a JD is better..
I mean in 5/6 years when the economy improves..
There is a bar course and exam in Ireland for NY and California?

I would intend to do this before going for my LLM/JD
Actually, the LLM is "better", it's a higher degree. You'd have to already have a law degree in order to get an LLM from Oxford (or anywhere else). But, the LLM isn't the qualifying degree to practice law. The LLM is an advanced academic degree in law.
Qualifying to take the bar (and passing it) is the more important consideration in finding a job. Getting a law degree from the UK wouldn't be very helpful passing the bar in the US because their system is very different from ours.
The more prestigiuos option would be to get the JD from Harvard/Yale/etc... and the the LLM from Oxford/Cambridge/etc... if you wanted to study international law. This assumes you'd like to be in college for about 10 years (BA + JD + LLM) instead of 7 (BA + JD) and your career goals demand that higher degree.

What are your damages? The problem is that, with hardly any damages available, for a lawyer to spend time on a case like this would be a waste of his or her time. Small damages equals even smaller pay for the lawyer, and too much time and effort to invest.
