- y-c-o-m-b 3y agoOnce it's all over, it would be nice to see how many hours the lawyers put into the case vs how much they make off it. In fact if anyone has these stats on previous class actions, I'd be interested to see it. The emotionally driven and ignorant part of me has always assumed the lawyers are walking away with tens of millions off the backs of the victims that always get screwed over, but that's an unfair assessment without actual data to either back it up or refute it.
