As someone who works closely with legal billing, I'm also calling BS. I can attest firsthand that lawyers regularly get deducted on bills for spending too much time on their tasks. There's an entire market (well over 50 companies) for reading legal bills and sending them back with reasons they won't be paid. Spending too much time on a task means it will take longer to get paid for it.
