I think that without the greed factor the lawyers would not bother taking any cases. Let me tell you, they SUCK. I know this from being around them a lot. I do have one who is a friend, but even he is kind of scummy.
It depends on the lawyer. I know some sucky greedy ones, but I have two cousins who are lawyers, one represents non-union farm workers and the other bounty hunts companies which have violated environmental laws. Both manage to make a good living. I have two theater friends who are lawyers, one is a researcher for the county appeals court and the other is a major league trial lawyer who made megabucks, and invested a chunck of that into building a no-profit melodrama theater in Gold Country. He always played the villain.
