Date: November 3rd, 2014 1:14 PM Author: Violet histrionic round eye The hourly rate probably isn't crazy. The median for solos in Arizona is about $250, and that holds whether its a home office or a regular office.
[Edit: State bar survey: http://i.imgur.com/VbKjgzt.jpg But the response rate is weak.] |

Date: November 3rd, 2014 1:16 PM Author: Poppy masturbator theater stage And billing 625 hours or so per year doesn't seem all that impossible, while dedicating the other 30 hours per week to marketing and admin. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=2713877&forum_id=2#26639706) |

Date: November 3rd, 2014 8:21 PM Author: Effete Sound Barrier The hourly rate isn't crazy, maybe a little high, more like $200-225 for typical generalist type of solo, but averaging 12 hours a week is extremely difficult. Most people don't get the kind of clients that give yearly business. They'll give you one thing to do, you spend 20 hours on it or whatever, and then it's over, and then you don't see that client again forever, and then you have nothing coming in.

Date: November 3rd, 2014 6:18 PM Author: Fighting Bawdyhouse Cr. People don't realize how much time is spent on collections and the ridiculous amount of receivables shit lawyers have that they won't ever see a dime of. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=2713877&forum_id=2#26641401) |
|
Date: November 4th, 2014 10:55 AM Author: Umber Karate Hm, good point. You'd probably have to add another 2-3 hours a week to make up for the odd hour that's not collectible. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=2713877&forum_id=2#26645900) |

Date: November 4th, 2014 11:06 AM Author: turquoise persian Look breh. I used to work in an industry where I saw what a lot of lawyers made per year. Unless you are really industrious or have a super super super niche area you won't be making nearly as much as you think. I saw most solo practice attorneys making 50-80 k a year. The attorneys who make more either work 60+ hours a week and HUSTLE or aren't solo and run a small shop.
Small shop is probably the correct way to do things if you want to do more admin and less law. |
