$0 Lawyers are the same as any professional in that they can be more or less integrated into the market, which determines how each of them earn their money. For instance, they can become associates in a law firm, and get paid on salary or through billable hour targets, or a combination of both. They may even become a partner in the firm, if their earning abilities are proven well enough that the firm wants to retain them as a permanent asset. Alternatively they can try to be an in-house counsel for a particular (non-law) business corporation, where they can negotiate their salary depending on how much the employer thinks their exclusive services are worth. Lawyers can also work for the government, and so their remuneration relies more heavily on the policies and laws applicable to those type of government employees, rather than upon the mechanisms of the market. On the other end of the spectrum, one can become a solo practitioner, where it can be feast or famine depending on how many clients one can pull in and whether these clients will actually pay. Like any other business, there is the possibility of zero revenue and net losses for your practice.
It depends. If you ending up doing mostly public interest work you could make as low as 30-35 thousand a year. But if you are talking generally, depending on how many years you have been out of law school,I'd say the average lawyer working for a firm that Inst a large firm, definitely makes six figures 3 years out of law school.
There is no maximum.
I am not totally sure about the change of lawyers but I do know that the money you paid your first lawyer was paid to your first lawyer and will not be transferred over.
that depends on how good the lawyer is.
Interest is earned or paid for the use of money

The lowest amount anyone can be paid is what ever the current federal minimum wage is. As of June 2014 the federal minimum wage is $7.25 an hour.
No, of course not. If the insurance company already paid the medical bills, then obviously you didn't need a lawyer's help to get them paid. Therefore, they are not entitled to a percentage of something they had no part in recovering.

Depends on what country you're having legal action taken against you in. For example in the UK - if you do not have the money for a lawyer; a state lawyer(bog standard paid by the government lawyer) will be provided for you But in some countries I do believe you have to defend yourself.
According to the US Bureau of Labor and Statistics the highest paid lawyers in the US are in San Jose, California. The highest amount paid was $192,020 per year.
