“A lawyer’s time and advice are his stock in trade.” – Abraham Lincoln
Attorneys establish fees in various ways. One approach is to bill based on the amount of time spent. This rate is determined by their office expenses and other business costs, plus a reasonable compensation for the attorney’s time. The total charge is categorized as the attorney’s time. Hourly fees typically range from around $80.00 per hour to over $200.00 per hour, depending on various factors such as the attorney’s expertise, experience, expenses, and other considerations.
Some attorneys may also apply a fixed fee, charging one amount for handling the entire case. However, the fee amount does not guarantee exceptional service. Ultimately, the quality of service should be your primary consideration.
