It's a pretty vague area to discuss, and I'm sure our mileage would vary more than anything, but does anybody have any idea about how the main attorneys have their salaries at?
- It's made pretty clear that he doesn't take many cases, but he seems to manage keeping his office and name out. I think it's mentioned that he often gets defense requests that he turns down, as well? On the other hand, I'm a bit confused about how he goes about Spoiler: AJ
- I think it's pretty obvious that he makes a killing compared to a majority of the other law-practitioners we see in Ace Attorney (his office for one seems to reflect that, and he has a nice car), but we never seem to see anything beyond his frilly suit, office and car? Maybe we'll find out more during AA: Investigations?I'm also curious regarding
and 
's incomes and lifestyles outside the court (whether they live on the fringe or lavishly, especially considering that barely seems to win?Other than that, though, I've already formed in my mind that
have mooched off of Nick at one point or another, and that 
probably isn't too good in terms of economic stability either.It's a pretty pointless topic, but a little interesting (at least I thought so :() !

How come phoenix always mentions only having enough to keep the office going, while edgeworth has a sports car and fancy office? Do prosictors get paid loads more or something?

hey have you noticed how phoenix gets the blame and everyone 'want to do battle' with him- godot and franzy.
omg!!! 3rd game last case!!!! so sad...*cry*
anyways... we no from sl-9 that edgeworth has money(enough with the pricing!)
ema would rather be payed in snackoos than actual cash and gumshoe seems to be living on next to nothing.gloomy bunch!
prosecutors get payed loads.phoenix always is in hospital, upset or cant be bothered to work.and gets impersonated- that cant help much. and he doesnt ask his friends to pay for their legal help.

Remember, Grossberg is well off despite the fact he's an attorney. I just think Nick isn't much of a businessman.

grossbergs business is quite big though and he had mia and diego working for him wich has gotta help, i mean they were both really good.phoenixs business was just starting up and he is always ill due to something or other. and being the only attorney at wright and co means you cant take loads of cases at once. yeah and phoenix is really quite unorganised and doesnt know how todo business. maybe if he had read the law boks in his office...

He wasn't outfor winning either, there's a whole topic for that. I can see his lifestyle outside of prosecution involving a lot of coffee and plotting for erm... T&T's finale. Other than that, he probably looks at pictures of Mia and throws darts at a picture of Phoenix.

). Between their arrogant attitudes which imply that they are well off, they also have absurdly fancy suits and just about any random thing you could ask for (the taser? the high-tech tracking device? the means to take in an orphan and raise him to be filthy rich?). Obvously I think Edgey is rich too, possibly because of the Karmas. Maybe when Edgey was living with them they gave him lots of money. I can easily imagine Manfred being the type to bribe Edgey with suits, cars, etc. as a substitute for emotional support -- it would certainly explain some of Edgey's emotional problems in the first game.As for Godiego (this thread should be spoiler marked for all the 3-5 stuff), I think that he probably had a fair amount of money before the *incident*, being the rising star at a filthy rich law firm and all. But with the long-term medical expenses, by T&T he probably was poor as could be. 3-5 shows such haphazard desparation and carelessness for his own well being that Godot probably had almost no money left -- he may well have been homeless, given how much of his attitude was an act. It just would not make sense for him to be wealthy in the least, as he wouldn't be given much money as the new unknown, and seemingly unproven guy at the DA's office. What little he had would have to go towards ongoing treatment. During the six years to pay the bills the doctors would have had to take everything of value he had to keep him alive.

doing both (buying expensive items and overworking)- I don't see Edgeworth doing quite the same myself, since even though he has nice things, I just can't picture him going out to expensive stores... but that's just my feeling- he probably does, lol.I think it's been established to some degree that he's obsessed with the Steel Samurai, so maybe he buys that sort of thing when he thinks none of his friends are watching? :D
I can also imagine Godot having nothing better to do with his time than [prepare for his cases]/[throw darts at pictures of] Phoenix. I'd also think a pretty big chunk of his money must go into coffee :D

Wait, Edgeworth's obsessed with the Steel Samurai...?
I think it's been mentioned that it's implied, but I don't think they go any further than that... I think in one of the "promotional" comic strips too, he turns out to be a super-expert in just about anything steel-samurai related while Maya and Cody are talking about it?... But of course we can't tell if that's supposed to be considered taken with salt, I guess.

back on topicke:
PROSECUTORS get paid WAAAY too much*, as we all know. (1-5 confirms this.)
DEFENCE get paid significantly less, probably depending on experience/rates/etc. Phoenix, being the lovable pushover he is, usually is bullied into defending people for nothing at all.
DETECTIVES seem to get paid different salaries. Gumshoe's usually whining about having to subsist on instant noodles, but Ema never complains about low salary, despite always being in a bad mood (and not seeming to do as much as Gumshoe does).
REGULAR PEOPLE (e.g. Larry, Maya) don't seem to have regular jobs**. Some do, though (Mimi was a nurse, etc.)
REGULAR POLICE OFFICERS probably get about Gumshoe's salary or less (or more?!?!).
*especially considering they're totally evil.
**I mean, come on. Maximillion galactica's and co are in the circus.

I think a prosecutor's salary in this game depends on their record. Compare Winston's clothes with Edgeworth's/ Manfred's/Franziska. Payne's clothes look like a recolored version of Phoenix's. Godot/Diego's clothes... well, he is famous in a way he works with Grossberg.
But Winston will have been well paid considering he was unbeaten for 7 years. If his pay went down after he started getting his arse kicked he wouldn't have suddenly become poor.

Not much salary. Take this, Larry didn't pay him, nor Maya, Powers possibly was broke and problably Edgeworth not too. Lana didn't requested for his defense, and etc. And in one of the official arts for GS, we see Wright entreing his house, filled with spider webs. Edgy is rich, probably, eh? We could see it by his office. Very rich, you could assume. Taking a year-long vacation (or it was more? I cant remember) and maintaning a record for 40 yrs! Averagey, maybe. Rich. In 2-1, there's a possible reference of him being a Socialite. (when he talks to Wellington about the high class restaurant) Rich, for being a prosecutor plus a rocke band star. Rich too. Rich. Just look at his "expensive book" etc. Poor, like Wright. Wright maybe has paid him, Winfred, maybe, Tobaye, don't know and Vera...
