A billing method where clients pay for the time spent on their case at a billable hourly rate that varies by who in the firm is working on the case.
“what i'm going to talk about is the difference between hourly billing and flat rate billing in criminal defense cases generally there are two types of ways that criminal defense attorneys bill for their services in a criminal defense matter they can either charge based on an hourly basis or a billable rate or a billable hour or they can charge a flat fee a flat rate a flat price”
“generally speaking billable hours means that you're just going to be paying for the time spent on your case now the billable rate depends on who's working on your case what position in the firm is working on your case do you have a more experienced attorney or a less experienced attorney are they billing 200 300 400 an hour or are they billing 150 for their paralegal you have to look to it what rates they're putting on certain people so if you have someone who is just answering phones and they're billing you 200 an hour for that person that doesn't make sense if you have an attorney who's only billing at maybe 75 an hour that also doesn't make sense because generally we see attorneys ranging somewhere between 150 to 350 an hour”
