I'd like a list of the top 50 practicing California contingency
attorneys (also known as "plaintiffs' lawyers", "plaintiffs' counsel",
"plaintiffs' attorneys", or "plaintiffs' law firms" -- attorneys or
firms that only charge by receiving a percentage of the recovery from
the award or judgment in a case or arbitration) -- ranked by total
arbitration awards (with that total next to the name of each attorney)
they won during any most recent period of comparison.  Please also
provide contact information for each of the 50 attorneys listed --
email, phone, address.

Dear likes2know,

As arbitration awards are typically governed by contractual
arbitration agreements between the parties (which may or may not
contain nondisclosure language), and often neither the agreement to
arbitrate nor the arbitrator's decision are included in the court
record, I am not sure that it is possible to compile the type of
information you have requested.

For a fee, you may find the list you're seeking here:

I figured there would be some lists from newspaper, magazine, online
articles about attorneys.  Also, I believe there is a service that
compiles results from arbitrations -- something like (or it may be the
same company) as (I believe the name is) "jury service weekly" or
"jury verdicts" or "jury verdict weekly" -- they may also do arb
awards.
