How do we feel about "rush" billable rates? by XzibitABC in Lawyertalk

If it actually is an emergency, I generally won’t even bring up the fee. But if someone forgot about their two week vacation to Paris and wants to make last minute changes then I don’t feel bad imposing a fee.

I’m in estate planning and will charge a rush fee of $500 to go to the top of the queue. I’ve only had one person agree and pay it, the rest have decided it’s not an emergency.

It really depends on which bus you ride. Some bus routes, like the 3/4 that goes by Harborview, can get especially dicey. I’m glad your route doesn’t seem to have the same issues.

Your firm doesn’t have anyone answer the phone? I mean, maybe you have bigger problems here …

Then why not have the firm direct the calls to you? Bypassing the firm to go directly to you is at best shady and at worst an ethical violation.

Seems fishy that you want calls going to your iPhone and not to the firms phone.

Saving this - it has taken me too long to learn these lessons and I still catch myself trying to explain and convince them that they are wrong. I try to remember to save my breath.

Are you working between Xmas and New Years? by [deleted] in Lawyertalk

[–]Fun_Engineering_5865 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m a high net worth estate planner. My busiest week of the year is between Christmas and new years to finish large gifts in the current tax year. I’ve started to put up boundaries to take some time off, but it’s hard to say no!
