What you charge and what you earn are not related. A first year staff at a Big Four accounting firm charges clients ~$250 per hour, while they get paid a starting salary of $45,000-65,000, depending on location.
Are you 40 years old? Only partners can get away with charging that much. Either that or you have your own firm and are full of yourself and think that’s a reasonable rate.
But on second thought, over-charging for legal fees is FaF.
Alfred Marshall, we’re talking about billings not income. You’re an idiot.
Davy Crockett, unless you’re practicing law in fucking North Dakota or something, partners at real firms are charging at least $600/hr. I know at my brothers firm in Chicago partners bill out at $750/hr.
All of that being said, this was a shitty TFM and never should’ve been posted in the first place.
There’s a difference between what attorneys charge for in court work vs. out of court work. The partners at the firm I work for (in Houston) charge about $350 an hour (depending on whether they are of counsel or a regular partner) for work out of court and around $700 an hour (again, depends on the attorney) for in court work. So either this guy is a 40+ year old creeping around on a college-geared website or is a recent grad who is completely full of himself.

14 years ago at 10:08 amThank God for another broken Costas post.
14 years ago at 12:26 pmif your charging 375 and hour your making well over 500k a year. I dont see why you need to come on TFM and brag about buying costas.
14 years ago at 12:26 pmWe needed proof that all people who could afford a second pair of costas hadn’t left the site.

14 years ago at 3:54 pmFirst year associate starting salary at a big firm is in the 100,000s. If you’re making 45-65 then you might be a public defender.

14 years ago at 12:28 pmAre you serious? First year associates at any major market big firm bill out at $300–$350.
14 years ago at 12:57 pmYeah, but they personally don’t bring in anywhere near that much. Billings to clients at a big firm does not equate to income.

Or he’s completely making this shit up.

14 years ago at 3:05 pmHow much for just a bj?
14 years ago at 12:33 pmZJ?
14 years ago at 12:41 pmIf you gotta ask, you cant afford it.
14 years ago at 12:42 pmBut seriously how much.
14 years ago at 12:55 pmWell if it is from Mr. Thomas Fitz I’d imagine his time is valuable so if you can keep it under an hour then it shouldn’t be anymore than $375.
14 years ago at 6:57 pmQuit living in the past. Get on with your rich life.
14 years ago at 12:33 pmPhew! Good thing you make $375 an hour. Those Costas are expensive!
