$1.4M for the attorney, $49 for the clients. Unless the attorney(s) worked full time on the case for literally years and years, they haven't earned such ridicilous sums of money. The system is broken badly.
I used to think the same way until I worked for an attorney for a summer as an intern. Granted, he was a defense attorney, so he wasn't out to get anyone necessarily, but the man worked countless hours.

If he ever made a fee that large a good portion of it (over half) went to administrative fees such as filing fees, travel expenses, experts, testimonies, payroll for other employees, the list goes on and on. That was just for one case, and he may have dozens currently open.

I'm not saying he didn't make a good salary, he did; however, he worked incredibly long hours, day and night.

I'm sure this isn't the case for all attorneys, and some make incredible margins on the amount of work they do, but I just wanted to offer some contrast to the anti-attorney sentiment.

Well hey I appreciate it. I would never say that my simple experience is how ALL attorneys operate, but it's just like everything else...it's hard for all of us not to generalize sometimes!!
