"mesothelioma attorneys" is $50+ per click.

Expected value of a class-action asbestos lawsuit = Millions? 10s of millions?

Not even class-action, just individual lawsuits.

For mesothelioma, an in-person referral from a doctor to an attorney is worth well over $10,000. Of course the doctor doesn't get paid until after the successful suit - but even discounting the time value of money, it's easy to see how advertising at $50/click could work out.
