How much money does a laywer make?

Answer 1

it depends on what kind of lawyer, where they practice, how long they've been practicing, and what cases they handle. Some work almost exclusively pro-bono or are paid in barter, some make millions of USD per year, and many make anything in between. You're not likely to make a really extravagant amount of money, but most do well enough.

Answer 2

That will depend entirely on how successful he is. If he does public defense work, he'll probably be lucky to make $24,000 a year. If he settles a really big case, he could receive a third of a million dollars.
