I'm thinking of registering a domain myself for a new small business, a law office -- I'm admitted in California (inactive), Guam, and the CNMI. To be "safe," am I expected to register all the .com, .net, .org, and .biz variants of my proposed name?!

Yes yes and Yes. Register all variants you can afford. Even dashes. This will protect your company name and copyright.
