about £60,000 a year within 3 years of graduation
The above is not necessarily true. In the UK criminal law is funded via the legal aid system, which means lawyers are often paid a reduced fee, which consequently impacts on salaries. Even in London a criminal lawyer may never make £60,000 a year unless they become an equity partner or unless they are doing a substantial amount of out of hours duty work representing detained persons in a police station to subsidise their basic salary. A more likely figure is £35k-£40k 3 years after qualifying.
In the US, a criminal defense lawyer can expect to start off earning $35-45K as a public defender, or slightly more with a firm. Depending on their experience and history, a seasoned (15-20 yrs) criminal defense attorney can earn anywhere from $60-200K, depending on where he/she works.

well all lawyers make good money but the most highest paid lawyer is a patent lawyer or maybe a corporate lawyer and even criminal lawyers make good money.But the lawyer that gets paid the most is a patent lawyer but i think patent law is very boring so i think the best type of law is corporate and corporate lawyers make good money but again criminal lawyer also make good money and criminal law is very intresting but still to answer your question i think patent lawyers make the most money but that type of law is pretty boring so i would go for corporate lawyer or criminal .
