Self-Employed/Attorney as FEC employer text: $7.9 million

A slash form joining status and profession

LobbyVault ranks grouped employer text. Self-Employed/Attorney is the mixed-case slash spelling committees stored when filers combined self-employed with attorney. The $7,947,300 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 AT LAW, ATTORNEY, LAWYER, SELF-EMPLOYED, or a named partnership sit in other rows. LobbyVault does not recode those variants into Self-Employed/Attorney. The FEC field records stored text, not a state bar roster.

1,260 donors and 16,818 lines

1,260 unique donors produced 16,818 Self-Employed/Attorney contribution lines totaling $7,947,300. That is on the order of 13 itemized receipts per donor — fewer lines per person than high-volume payroll clusters such as USPS in this ranking, closer to other slash-form title rows. 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 $7,947,300 unless an individual receipt itself carries this employer string. Unitemized gifts never appear. Repeat names among 16,818 lines are expected.

ATTORNEY AT LAW and LAWYER stay separate

ATTORNEY AT LAW, ATTORNEY, LAWYER, and SELF-EMPLOYED are separate keys. Combining them with Self-Employed/Attorney would invent a legal-services recode. This page stays at $7,947,300 for the slash spelling only.

Occupation pages show titles stored beside Self-Employed/Attorney — attorney, solo, retired — as typed. A donor who listed a specific firm name is not in these 1,260 people unless the receipt grouped to Self-Employed/Attorney.

Donor table without case inference

The Self-Employed/Attorney 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 slash form. Coverage is itemized federal individual receipts only.

SELF-EMPLOYED, ATTORNEY, and ATTORNEY AT LAW stay out

Self-Employed/Attorney as a slash form is not SELF-EMPLOYED without Attorney, not ATTORNEY, not ATTORNEY AT LAW, and not LAWYER. Those strings sit on other keys. The $7,947,300 total, 16,818 contribution lines, and 1,260 donors describe this mixed-case slash spelling only. Named partnerships remain other firm-name rows. Bar PAC filings stay outside the industry headline.

Unitemized gifts, state races, and NAICS 5411 lawyer-office payroll stay outside the $7,947,300. Occupation pages show titles beside Self-Employed/Attorney. Solo practitioners who still type the slash form remain in the 1,260. The FEC field is not a state bar roster. This page is not legal advice. Repeat names among 16,818 lines are expected.

Open the Self-Employed/Attorney donor table for disclosed names and committees. A large gift is a public individual contribution, not a docket or retainer inference. Cite $7,947,300, 16,818 contributions, and 1,260 donors from FEC.gov via LobbyVault. Labels are FEC employer/occupation self-reports. Do not add ATTORNEY AT LAW to this slash form and call the sum a legal-services industry.

Researchers who want a legal-services recode must list ATTORNEY AT LAW, ATTORNEY, LAWYER, and SELF-EMPLOYED as separate additions. The $7,947,300 figure does not absorb those rows. It stays on Self-Employed/Attorney as 1,260 donors and 16,818 lines. Named firms remain other keys. This page is not legal advice. Follow recipient committees on the Self-Employed/Attorney donor table. Party share is not computed on the industry headline.

Questions

How much have Self-Employed/Attorney-listed donors given federally?

LobbyVault attributes $7,947,300 to the Self-Employed/Attorney employer string, from 16,818 contributions and 1,260 donors.
