According to the Wall Street Journal,* hourly rates for attorneys have been rising steadily and some attorneys now charge over $1,000 per hour. The trend of rising hourly rates leaves some prospective clients with difficult decisions, which may include whether they can afford to hire an attorney to review an important contract, or use experienced counsel for complex licensing or tax compliance.
