How much money do defense lawyers earn?

Answer 1

Defense Attorneys can be very expensive. But of course there are attorneys that do not charge anything unless they win your case. And there are public defenders that a court can appoint to you if you can not afford an attorney.

Answer 2

"How much wood would a woodchuck chuck, if a woodchuck could chuck wood?" Same question: The economic details of a 'defense' lawyer simply do not exist. There are so many kinds of 'defense lawyers.' Private, public defender, securities law, environmental lawyer,all civil law. Go to the site of the American Bar Association, ask the question and see how fast you get an aswer. The ABA is the major source if nation-wide lawyers in the United States of America are statistical enty. A database somewhere probabaly has economic details for certain areas. The question is fundamentally meaningless...because it is so broad and general. Fifty states, and fifty bar associations and you want a number and an average which cant exist; be more specific. MAJOR POINT: ask a quetion which can be answered. The begining of everything is the question.
