When 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.
