A lawyer first obligation is to the client

That all sounds great on paper, but it doesn't explain the behavior we see in lawyers. For example the case of class-action lawsuits in which lawyers take 98% of the award and split the remaining 2% amongst the suffering victims.

Hmmmm...I wonder what would explain that? Maybe self-interest???

I agree completely. But they are a cabal and don't want any outsiders inside unless the outsiders are subservient to them.

Your notion of how much they take is incorrect
All state bars limit how much a lawyer can recieve
Since a zero award means zero payment the risk is
spread out.
generally anything over 2 mil is 20%
I am not defending, I am just correcting the 98% notion
