Date: June 10th, 2012 4:58 AM Author: umber persian useless brakes this distribution is fucked up enough that they probably will not be happy. Unless you are on vacation, you should not bill 50. Also, the client will not like seeing 250 hours billed in one month by one lawyer unless there is a crazy closing or something.

Date: June 10th, 2012 5:00 AM Author: umber persian useless brakes in my experience, if you are billing that high it is because you are in a closing or at trial. it would be very hard to multi-task between several matters and still bill 250. Those kind of hours come from billing 20 hours a day on one shitty deal. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=1967604&forum_id=2#20859452) |

Date: June 10th, 2012 5:09 AM Author: alcoholic den karate this depresses me. the 250 hour month was because the other associate on the case was out sick for 2 weeks and I had to do double my usual work. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=1967604&forum_id=2#20859470) |

Date: June 10th, 2012 5:13 AM Author: arousing lay if that's so, and you just ended up billing all of his hours too, no one is going to give a shit. fewer attorneys on the bill is preferred (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=1967604&forum_id=2#20859476) |
