Did all the work? Well, not really. There was a great deal of collective effort from the people affected by the issue, developers/hackers who identified and documented the issue, people who raised issues with apple and reported back, journalists involved, etc. etc. Lawyers came in more or less at the last step, organizing this info, reinforcing it where necessary and arguing it to the point of settlement. They deserve to be paid for their work, of course. A 20% fee seems reasonable on paper, but at this scale it's a staggering amount of money considering the time invested. It would take some companies a decade to earn that amount of profit.
