Oftentimes the lawyer fees are 1/3 of the settlement.

I’m thinking though that there was the lawsuit - and yes, 30-40 percent contingency is the norm. But there is also the criminal defense. Lawyers get 6-7000 bucks just to take a case through a preliminary hearing or summary trial.

in civil rights cases the fees are statutory.
10,000 dollars seems a bit low.
