REAL 1, I suspect one of the big contributing factors is legal compensation is so highly concentrated among individual clients. The opposite end of the spectrum where the public tends to more readily accept is when a company makes pennies each off of millions of widgets. Sounds like the best scenario for an attorney looking to maximize revenue with the happiest clients is to perhaps do work for large corporations where hundreds of millions is at stake on an issue, such that the client feels more positive even if they have to pay a couple million out of the coffers? The fees still need to be kept below some reasonable hurdle, but that will certainly be higher than what most individuals or small companies can stomach. Probably hard getting those assignments though...
