The client s first reaction might be to calculate how much they make an hour.If they make $25 per hour, the lawyer s $180 per hour fee would seem exorbitant, at best.ost Wills cost no more than $300 and a truly simply Will would cost no more than $150 for a single individual. Lastly, if the lawyer offers a free consultation, providing the lawyer with your information and allowing him or her to give you a quote for the cost of services costs you no more than an hour of your time.
