Can you imagine?! Rates for legal fees vary based on location, experience of the lawyer, and the nature of the matter. Believe it or not, rates may vary anywhere from $50 an hour to a $1,000 an hour or more. In rural areas and small towns, lawyers tend to charge less, and fees in the range of $100 to $200 an hour for an experienced attorney are probably the norm. In major metropolitan areas, the norm is probably closer to $200 to $400 an hour. Lawyers with expertise in specialized areas may charge much more. In addition, you can expect to be charged at an hourly rate for paralegals and other support staff. A good paralegals time, for example, may be billed out at $50 to a $100 an hour or perhaps more. It would not be unusual for a legal secretarys time on things like document production to be billed out at perhaps $25 to $50 an hour.
