Hourly Fees

Hourly fee agreements are the most common billing model for cases in which the attorney cannot predict exactly how much work is necessary to complete a project, or when the project will end. MLS charges clients only for work that is actually performed on their behalf. MLS breaks each hour down into six-minute increments (1/10 of an hour) so that clients only pay for the time it takes to get the job done. Hourly fees are the most common because they are the best approach to fairness in an industry where fees and costs can be inherently unpredictable.
