Best Answer

That depends on the agreement. In some cases, particularly public defense work, they get a fixed fee based on what they do. There is a specific price for being in court with a defendant and another for visiting them in jail. Most attorneys want a specific hourly rate plus costs. And in contingency cases the money only comes if they win the case.

What are lawyers earning?

Lawyers have a very wide range of incomes. Lawyers are extremely well paid for what they do (clients are usually billed at the rate of at least $300/hour of legal work, and it can be much higher) however, not all lawyers get as much work as they want to have. No one is obligated to seek your services as a lawyer, and there are a lot of lawyers to choose from. At the present time, there is an over supply. We are drowning in lawyers.
