Billing And Defense Counsel Guidelines

In today's competitive and demanding environment, it is essential that a law firm provide not only excellent services, but do so at efficient and reasonable rates and costs. A law firm must comply with both the "letter and spirit" of defense counsel guidelines. Timely reports and accurate budgets benefit both the attorney and client. We have the experience to know which case requires significant legal resources and which case can be defended or prosecuted with fewer resources. We often propose alternative billing methods for our clients' consideration.
