Re: Sears settles lawsuit over possibly unstable ovens
How about this for attorney's fees: After Tobacco Settlement, Florida Battles Its Lawyers - New York Times

From the 3rd paragraph:

The tobacco companies agreed to pay $11.3 billion over 25 years to Florida, and the state's contract with the lawyers gave them a 25 percent contingency fee if they won.

If I recall correctly, the attorneys ended up splitting $1.2 BILLION.
