The highest paid attorneys are generally plaintiff's lawyers who handle class action or serious personal injury, wrongful death, product liability, medical malpractice lawsuits. Class Action fees may be as high as 25% although they are often capped in large settlements. Attorneys generally take 33 & 1/3 % of any recovery in the other categories. Next in line would be attorneys who handle major corporate law and/or in-house counsel for multi-billion dollar companies, etc. Patent Law, Commerical Real Estate, Entertainment Law and High Profile Criminal Law would most likely follow. These categories overlap depending on the particular cases the attorney may handle.
