Lawyers are freacking expensive!
 

So i had to hire my dads lawyer for some thing. Guess how much he charges?

$3k per case and $20 for evey 10 mins on the phone! Jesus Christ! :Oh crap

thats actually cheap compared to many others

try $350-450/hour

that is cheap lol
i know what our family lawyer charges.... 120 bucks for an hour on the phone is nothing

Really? LOL, im thinking this is expensive. Maybe he gave me a discount. :1orglaugh

4 k or so spent on mine so far

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

DH

$20 for 10 minutes on the phone? you got a bargain.
my lawyer called me to SET UP a time to talk....and I was charged $50 for "are you free for an hour tomorrow at 10am? good, talk to you then."
:disgust

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.

that's why you always have to have a lawyer in the family. but it sucks to be a son of one.

yo, I will trade you atty fee's in a heatbeat =)

Thats actually a reasonable rate lol... Depending on what field of law your talking about of course.

thats what I was thinking

10 minutes per 20$, fucking cheap

law is good business...if i didn't want to come out of school working to pay off loans for the first 3 years practicing then i would go to law school.

yup lol

here you ask a question on the phone and it's an instant $150 for up to 15 minutes

600/hour

I forgot the movie but the line was : One lawyer with a briefcase can steal more then 10 wiseguys with machine guns. lol

heh damn. Here it is $120/hour where my fiance works.

mine is better, charges a billion dollars

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.

And you wonder why i'm in law school right now ;-)

if you even have the right $ you can buy the law.

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)

I guess im spoiled, i speak to my attorney all the time and i have to hound him for a bill that i never get. Hell, he even bought me dinner last night
