Defense lawyer is usually a hired lawyer and the one who always defends the guilty. The amount of money that defense lawyers can vary big time depending on their clients and case. They would usually make anywhere from 40-50 dollars an hour to 400-500 dollars and hour. It could even go a lot higher then that.
