In some states there is a mandate by the bar that you must charge hourly. In California, for instance, you cannot do a flat rate for a pre-nup agreement. I believe the logic is that if it becomes more complicated, the incentive to do a good job disappears. With an hourly rate, an hour on a complicated prenup == an hour in court, with the same expectation of quality and effort.
