Attorneys took home $1.8M of $5M Laquan McDonald settlement

CHICAGO (WLS) -- The attorneys who won $5 million for Laquan McDonald's family took home $1.8 million of that settlement.

Lawyers Jeffrey Neslund and Michael Robbins originally asked the city for $16 million, or $1 million for every shot fired at McDonald.

The attorneys defended their fee, saying 40 percent is the norm in federal civil suits.
