That is pretty cheap actually, my tech lawyer out of BC charges $600 an hour... But he is one of the best lawyers in the country IMHO... He helped me settle with Mastercard years ago on thisispriceless.com

Seriously who are these people? At that rate they would clear hundred g's a month with 33 cases.

Way too much for just knowing the law.

it took them ages, sleepless nights, blood and tears before they earned that sweet and much-coveted "Atty." title. they deserve to charge a decent fee.

I would normally agrre with that statement if 99% of them weren't fucking crooks

here's an example - ad in the paper "Lawyer .... 1st consultation free", so I went there to see if this guy can help me at all, guess what the frist consultation was
Me: Can you do this and this for me?
He: Bring these and these documents and we'll talk.
Me: Ok, I will, but can you do this and this for me when I bring them?
He: Bring these and these documents and we'll talk.
Me : Fuck off kunt (ok I didn't say this but I never went back, found andother one)
