It has been my experience when dealing with attorneys, who are usually priced at around $350 per hour, that your statement is rarely true.

- daniel-cussen 19y agoSo what is one to do? Hire a cheap lawyer? A young lawyer? An $800 per hour attorney? None of the above?
- thinkcomp 19y agoIt depends what you need done. Any corporate lawyer should be able to handle an incorporation or vesting documents. They'll probably just hand it off to a lower-paid associate (or if they don't, ask them to), so it almost doesn't matter who you hire. They won't be doing the work. It does matter that you trust them so that you're not surprised when the bill comes. On the other hand, if you find yourself needing a criminal defense lawyer for a specialized case at the last minute, you might very well find yourself paying that hypothetical $800 per hour attorney. In worst case scenarios, you can always harass law school professors, who are sometimes amused by the interesting travails of undergraduates and non-law graduate students. Basically, just pray you never need to hire any of them.
