Depends on where he works and what kind of work he does. Many attorneys that work for corporations will be running around $100k a year, with benefits. Others working for non-profits may very well not make more than $40k. And if they take contingency cases and win some big lawsuits, they could make millions.
depends usually 90-100k
that depends on how good the lawyer is.
they get paid 1800 a weeek
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.
A criminal lawyer. Some very good criminal lawyers get paid 1.5 million pounds/dollars in a year! But all lawyers get pretty good pay.
How much does a lawyer in criminal law get paid?
Too much.
an estate lawyer is paid handsomely for doing the job
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.
1,000,000,000 a year or more
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.
It depends on who the money was paid to and how much money was paid.
Huh? You mean if a client decides to change lawyers and has already paid a fee does he get it back? READ THE AGREEMENT CONTRACT made with the attrny....normally a way to calculate how much he has earned...by an hourly and expense reimbursement basis is provided...it is entirely possible the client will owe the lawyer more money than they have already paid. If the amount paid up front was large and not much has been done on the case...a refund is likely.
