Very astute thinking, Len. That is a very reasonable rate for a business matter. Unless it's a huge complex case where you need an army of attorneys, you're probably better off with a smaller firm where the attorney you retain is the one who does the work. Just remember that there's a lot of overhead in law, as there is in other professional fields, so you need to pay a decent hourly rate to keep the lawyer motivated to give you good service. Sounds like you've found someone with a good ballance of professionalism and acceptable rates.
