Most attorneys in private practice do not receive a fixed salary, but instead a draw, based upon funds earned, representing amounts remaining after all expenses of running the practice are first paid. This amount can vary from a net annual loss, to hundreds of thousands of dollars for the most successful attorneys who are partners in large, well established law firms in major cities. Government and in-house corporate attorney salaries also vary widely.so it is impossible to answer your question directly. Instead, you should refer to the many salary surveys taken over the years by different bar organizations, such as this link to indeed.com: . http://www.indeed.com/salary/q-Attorney-l-Wisconsin.html , which put the WI average at about $41K.
