How much does a lawyer get paid? -

I want to know how much a lawyer or attorney gets paid either PA or PCM? If i have used the words wrong, I mean the guy up the front in a suit defending the defendant etc. Thanks.

In UK, a beginner can aspire for an earning of about £35 ,000, rising to £45,000 in 5 years. In USA, they can earn $85,000/year,9 months after graduation. And this increase every year. The above figures apply to private practice. If they enter jobs with attorney companies they can aspire for about 1.5 times more.

It varies depending on location, firm, who you are defending. A small town lawyer taking mostly auto accident cases might be lucky to make $60K to $90K a year. A quot;big cityquot; lawyer who is a full partner defending corporations could pull in high 6 figures. Factors that dictate how much a lawyer makes is: type of law practices, law school graduated from, and firm working for. Obviously, you also have to be good and bigger firms want you to be a rainmaker in addition to a lawyer.

salary? per client per hour? what?

too bloody much
