Detailed Explanation
Hourly billing is the most traditional attorney fee structure. Lawyers track their time in increments (usually 6-minute or 15-minute blocks) and bill clients for all time spent on their case. This includes phone calls, emails, research, document preparation, court appearances, and travel time. National averages range from $200-$400/hour, with major market rates reaching $500-$1,000+.
