$558,498 in itemized individual contributions is the 2008-cycle join for the occupation string Attorney At Law. FEC.gov aggregates count 506 contributions from 160 donors. The same stored string totals $8,080,474 across every cycle in this table, so the cell is about 6.9% of the lifetime bucket — filer-entered form text meeting a two-year window, not a law-firm PAC, a bar-membership file, or a legal-services NAICS total.
Key figures
- Attorney At Law × 2008 is $558,498 in itemized individual contributions.
- The cell includes 506 contributions from 160 donors.
- 2008 is about 6.9% of the grouping’s $8,080,474 all-cycle total.

- FEC gifts and federal award files remain separate datasets.
Attorney At Law as stored text, 2008 as cycle
Employer and occupation groupings sit on one axis; election cycles sit on the other. Rows that match both — ATTORNEY AT LAW and 2008 — sum to $558,498. 506 itemized contributions and 160 unique donors produced it. The total is not a corporate treasury gift and is not a committee disbursement. Independent expenditures and committee transfers live in other FEC tables. Cite FEC.gov for this intersection.
Neither the Attorney At Law hub nor the 2008 election cycle hub is this number; each hub drops one of the two keys. Attorney At Law is occupation string, not a verified payroll file. 160 donors and 506 lines in 2008 matched that stored string. ATTORNEY AT LAW is one stored title. ATTORNEY and LAWYER are other keys even when the same person might have used them in another year. People who typed ATTORNEY, LAWYER, ATTY, ESQ, and named law firms sit in other buckets. This page is the exact string ATTORNEY AT LAW.
LobbyVault keeps this two-key page so a reader can open Attorney At Law 2008 without treating the industry hub as a cycle total or the 2008 cycle hub as an employer total. The overlay at the Attorney At Law 2008 path holds the itemized rows for this cell. This prose publishes the packet snapshot: $558,498, 506 contributions, 160 donors, and 6.9% of $8,080,474.
6.9% of the Attorney At Law roll
The grouping’s stored total across cycles is $8,080,474. The 2008 slice of $558,498 is about 6.9% of that running sum. Other even-year windows hold the remaining 93.1% ($7,521,976). Treating 2008 as the entire Attorney At Law FEC story would ignore that remainder. The industry hub is the year index for this string.
Treat $8,080,474 as the denominator for the 6.9% share. It is not market capitalization, not revenue, and not proof of a multi-year political program. This tie keeps 2008 from being folded silently into $8,080,474. Neighboring spellings are not added into either figure.
