- ghaff 4y agoStates sort of do. "The professional responsibility rules in many states prohibit lawyers from paying more than a “reasonable and customary fee” to expert witnesses." The amount will vary based on the expert, but the idea is that if a, say, expert in computer programming would normally be paid $500/hour, if someone is paid $10,000/hour, something fishy is going on.
