in a class action lawsuit, the lawyers end up with more than most, if not all, members of the "class" for whom they have represented.

Fully depends on how much work was involved in collecting it and the fee agreement you signed. There are ethic rules that a lawyer can only collect a "reasonable fee", but contingency fees are usually reasonable, especially if that's what you agreed to and the lawyer did the work.

Depends.
What is involved in the lawyers job? How many other people were paid out of the Lawyer's pocket before trial (experts, physicians, servers, filings, etc)
Law suits are very expensive to litigate.

Never, its unethical and illegal. In most states an attorney cannot collect more then 33 and a third of whats rewarded.
