Except that the minimum fee is 350$ an hour. If they worked for the standard 180 hours a month for 12 months they'll get something like a 700,000$ salary.many

- JumpCrisscross 10y agoAnd? Our cat-pic flippers do similarly without complaint from this community. Mind your blind spots
- pc86 10y agoThe largest sum billed by a single attorney was $1.4 million, and he obviously took home only a fraction of that. So the statement "several attorneys" were paid "several million" is provably false.
- eridius 10y agoWhen a lawyer bills hundreds of dollars per hour, doesn't that actually include the assistance of paralegals and everything else that goes into supporting a lawyer? It's not like that's the lawyer's take-home pay.
- ghaff 10y agoRight. And, in fact, it's specifically the lawyer's "billable hours" which are < the number of hours worked. (i.e. it doesn't include continuing education requirements, administrivia, etc.) The numbers cited are respectable lawyer pay but they're nothing extraordinary. When I worked on an expert witness report a number of years back, our hourly fee was in that vicinity.
