ATTORNEY AT LAW as FEC employer text: $8.1 million

A three-word title, not ATTORNEY as one word

LobbyVault ranks grouped employer text. Solo practitioners often type ATTORNEY AT LAW instead of a firm legal name. The $8,080,474 total is those itemized individual gifts. It is not ABA PAC spending, not law-firm revenue, and not a NAICS 5411 rollup of offices of lawyers.

People who typed ATTORNEY, LAWYER, Self-Employed/Attorney, KIRKLAND & ELLIS, or a named partnership sit in other rows. LobbyVault does not recode those variants into ATTORNEY AT LAW. The FEC field records stored text, not a state bar roster.

648 donors and 18,440 lines

648 unique donors produced 18,440 ATTORNEY AT LAW contribution lines totaling $8,080,474. That is on the order of 28 itemized receipts per donor. Unique-donor count sits in the middle of other legal-title rows in this ranking, still as a separate stored string. The packet does not publish a mean gift as its own FEC field.

Party share is not on the industry headline. Independent expenditures and bar PAC filings are outside the $8,080,474 unless an individual receipt itself carries this employer string. Unitemized gifts never appear. Repeat names among 18,440 lines are expected.

ATTORNEY, LAWYER, and Self-Employed/Attorney stay separate

ATTORNEY, LAWYER, Self-Employed/Attorney, and named firms such as KIRKLAND & ELLIS are separate keys. Combining them with ATTORNEY AT LAW would invent a legal-services recode. This page stays at $8,080,474 for the three-word title only.

Occupation pages show titles stored beside ATTORNEY AT LAW — attorney, partner, self-employed — as typed. A donor who listed a specific firm name is not in these 648 people unless the receipt grouped to ATTORNEY AT LAW.

Donor table without case inference

The ATTORNEY AT LAW donor table lists disclosed names, amounts, and recipient committees. A large gift is a public individual contribution. LobbyVault does not attach a docket, a retainer, or a motive to that line. This page is not legal advice.

Follow committees on the table for party and office. This guide does not assign a partisan percentage to the title. Coverage is itemized federal individual receipts only.

ATTORNEY, LAWYER, and named firms stay out

ATTORNEY AT LAW as a three-word title is not ATTORNEY, not LAWYER, not Self-Employed/Attorney, and not a named partnership. Those strings sit on other keys. The $8,080,474 total, 18,440 contribution lines, and 648 donors describe this three-word spelling only. KIRKLAND & ELLIS remains a firm-name row when typed. Bar PAC filings stay outside the industry headline.

Unitemized gifts, state races, and NAICS 5411 lawyer-office payroll stay outside the $8,080,474. Occupation pages show titles beside ATTORNEY AT LAW. Solo practitioners who still type the three words remain in the 648. The FEC field is not a state bar roster. This page is not legal advice. Repeat names among 18,440 lines are expected.

Open the ATTORNEY AT LAW donor table for disclosed names and committees. A large gift is a public individual contribution, not a docket or retainer inference. Cite $8,080,474, 18,440 contributions, and 648 donors from FEC.gov via LobbyVault. Labels are FEC employer/occupation self-reports. Do not add ATTORNEY to this three-word title and call the sum a legal-services industry.

Researchers who want a legal-services recode must list ATTORNEY, LAWYER, Self-Employed/Attorney, and named firms as separate additions. The $8,080,474 figure does not absorb those rows. It stays on ATTORNEY AT LAW as 648 donors and 18,440 lines. Bar PAC filings remain other FEC categories. This page is not legal advice. Follow recipient committees on the ATTORNEY AT LAW donor table. Party share is not computed on the industry headline. Source: FEC.gov via LobbyVault, self-reported employer text, not NAICS 5411 and not a state bar roster.
