How much should you expect for a wrongful arrest settlement?

I was in jail for almost five days and the attorney said I'd be lucky to get $5,000.
I paid for my own defence, paid for my own polygraph, bonded myself out, not to mention the emotional trauma and the fact that I won't graduate on time now due to the fact I was not allowed to leave the state (I was visiting from California).

It seems a little low considering I was rejected from employment due to this as well as having a public record of the arrest (right-wing areas post arrests on law enforcement websites) which may be used to discriminate against me.

It just doesn't seem right or fair.
I broke no laws--it was a case of mistaken identity.
I am not in Malaysia--I'm in Florida.

I answer with a question: Did you break the law?

You may have been wrongfully jailed, but did you break a law that may not have warranted jail time?

Just curious.

And yes I agree it isn't fair IF you were truly innocent AND wrongfully incarcerated.
