How much have ATTORNEY AT LAW-listed donors given federally?

LobbyVault attributes $8,080,474 to the ATTORNEY AT LAW employer string, from 18,440 contributions and 648 donors. These are itemized individual receipts, not a bar PAC and not a NAICS offices-of-lawyers total. Unitemized gifts and non-federal filings are omitted from that figure.

Is this the same as ATTORNEY or LAWYER?

No. ATTORNEY, LAWYER, and Self-Employed/Attorney are separate employer strings with their own pages. The $8,080,474 total is only receipts whose grouped text is ATTORNEY AT LAW. Named firms sit in other keys. Figures here are limited to that FEC string as indexed on LobbyVault.

Is this law-firm PAC spending?

No. These are itemized individual contributions whose employer text grouped to ATTORNEY AT LAW. Firm and bar PAC filings are other FEC categories. Coverage is federal itemized receipts only. Unitemized gifts and non-federal filings are omitted from that $8,080,474 figure.

How many unique donors listed ATTORNEY AT LAW?

The rollup counts 648 donors and 18,440 contribution lines. Repeat gifts raise the receipt count — on the order of 28 itemized receipts per donor. This is not a state bar headcount. Coverage is itemized federal receipts only. Figures on this answer are limited to that FEC employer string as indexed on LobbyVault; unitemized gifts and non-federal filings are omitted.

ATTORNEY AT LAW

Contributors who listed ATTORNEY AT LAW on federal itemized receipts account for $8,080,474, according to FEC.gov aggregates on LobbyVault. The cluster is 18,440 contributions from 648 donors. ATTORNEY AT LAW is a three-word professional title placed in the employer box, not a NAICS offices-of-lawyers total, and not a bar PAC. ATTORNEY, LAWYER, and Self-Employed/Attorney are sibling legal-title rows. Packet facts for this page are $8,080,474, 18,440 contributions, and 648 donors, with top employer ATTORNEY AT LAW. Unitemized gifts never appear in that total. LobbyVault indexes FEC.gov individual receipts, not ATTORNEY as one word and not NAICS offices of lawyers.

Key figures

ATTORNEY AT LAW as FEC employer text totals $8,080,474 from 648 donors.
18,440 contribution lines sit under that three-word title.
ATTORNEY, LAWYER, and Self-Employed/Attorney are separate FEC keys.
The label is self-reported form text, not a NAICS legal-services sector.

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.
