I informed one of the attorneys that I use 3 other attorneys in different cities and their rates are all lower than what I am finding in the city I am seeking representation in. They told me that there is a "cap" that varies from state to state. Since their state allows a higher cap, they bill higher.

I've had both Chad Belville and J.D. Obenberger review and/or draw up legal docs for me in the past. I'd hit them up and see what they can do.

Chad is currently at the forum but I think J.D. flew home today and should be available Monday.
