i have called up the firm and they charge $ 150/hour for the initial consultation. i haven't called up the private practice lawyer yet. is there any advantage of hiring a person who is a partner in a firm as opposed to a solo practitioner?
Answer by Nick
Not necessarily. A partner in a firm probably has more experience, might be able to get you a bigger divorce settlement if you're trying to take your husband to the cleaners. Otherwise your run of the mill divorce is easily handled by a solo practitioner.
Answer by Shannon
Lawyers in firms keep their jobs by billing sufficient weekly hours.
Theoretically this all in the end makes them more efficient.
(I have doubts about that myself.)
