I also have ADHD and a few other exacerbating conditions, making it really hard to take exams like the LSAT. The good news is that you can definitely develop techniques that help mitigate the symptoms. More than anything, you have to find techniques that work for you, because not all of the recommended techniques will have a positive effect. I personally use an app called focus to hold myself to 25-minute study sessions at a time. I use friends and study buddies to hold myself accountable when I say I'm going to complete a task. I also develop small study tools to use at least once a day, even if it's just 10 minutes of studying (for example, flashcards with question stems). Depending on the situation, I will also create rewards systems for myself to help battle the executive disfunction side of my ADHD.
I highly suggest you seek out experts in the ADHD field. Dr. Ned Hallowell has a lot of positive information that I personally found very useful.
Though I think Imperius is wrong, you do not need to reconsider your career choice; I would be aware of the workload and difficulty of law school. The study tools you develop now will be necessary for success, given that most classes in law school will base your grade on one, maybe two exams.
