SELF EMPLOYED ATTORNEY
Contributors who listed Self-Employed/Attorney on federal itemized receipts account for $7,947,300, according to FEC.gov aggregates on LobbyVault. The cluster is 16,818 contributions from 1,260 donors. Self-Employed/Attorney is a slash-form combination of status and profession as stored, not a NAICS offices-of-lawyers total, and not a bar PAC. ATTORNEY AT LAW, ATTORNEY, and LAWYER are sibling legal-title rows. Packet facts for this page are $7,947,300, 16,818 contributions, and 1,260 donors, with top employer Self-Employed/Attorney. Unitemized gifts never appear in that total. LobbyVault indexes FEC.gov individual receipts, not ATTORNEY AT LAW and not NAICS offices of lawyers. ATTORNEY and LAWYER remain separate title-style keys on LobbyVault.
Key figures
- Self-Employed/Attorney as FEC employer text totals $7,947,300 from 1,260 donors.
- 16,818 contribution lines sit under that slash-form combination.
- ATTORNEY AT LAW, ATTORNEY, and LAWYER are separate FEC keys.
- The label is self-reported form text, not a NAICS legal-services sector.
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.

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. 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. Figures on this answer are limited to that FEC employer string as indexed on LobbyVault; unitemized gifts and non-federal filings are omitted.
- Is this the same as ATTORNEY AT LAW or ATTORNEY?
- No. ATTORNEY AT LAW, ATTORNEY, and LAWYER are separate employer strings with their own pages. The $7,947,300 total is only receipts whose grouped text is Self-Employed/Attorney. Named firms sit in other keys. Figures here are limited to that FEC string as indexed on LobbyVault.
- Does this include everyone listed as SELF-EMPLOYED?
- No. SELF-EMPLOYED without Attorney is a different employer string. A receipt counted here carries the slash combination Self-Employed/Attorney. Unitemized gifts are omitted. 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.
- How many unique donors listed Self-Employed/Attorney?
- The rollup counts 1,260 donors and 16,818 contribution lines. Repeat gifts raise the receipt count — on the order of 13 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.
Industry labels come from FEC employer/occupation self-reports, not NAICS. Data from FEC.gov via LobbyVault.
