August 22, 2007   Seriously, how much can a lawyer charge an
hour?   IN THE COMMENTS: Ruth Anne writes:    Sloanasaurus
said...  Doctors still bill a lot more. I got a bill for $500
the other day for a ten minute visit with my doctor. Of course
the Insurance company paid for it.  Slim999 said...  Wow ...
that's ironic.  I've always viewed the average lawyer as a vomit
point.  SteveR said...  Its takes a lot of money to pay for
those hair styles, ask John Edwards.  I would say the accuracy
of the billable time charged, is more important than the rate.
Bathroom breaks (ca ching), phone calls home (ca ching),
conversation with partners about alma mater football game (ca
ching).  hdhouse said...  I had an attorney once from a major K
street firm in DC. He was a senior partner and purported to be a
good friend. He used to call me every morning to see how I was
doing, how was my golf game, how's the wife and kids, yada the
1980s his billing rate was $350 and hour if he did the work or
if he had his associates do it
