Lawyers bill in increments of hours — often in 10 or 15 minute segments. So whether you talk for 1 minute, 7 minutes or all 15 minutes of a lawyer’s 15-minute scale, you will be charged the same amount of money (namely the entirety of the 15-minute rate).
TIP:
Keep a running list of questions and information you want your lawyer to have.
At the time when you do need to call your lawyer to answer or inform him/her
about a topic with a time sensitive component add in those questions.
TIP :
Place a timer next to your phone so that you are aware of the time
and the costs associated with a call.
Notate the time spent & date in a phone log.
