Bill Padding

Orange County Legal Malpractice Attorneys

Many lawyers charge by the hour. The overwhelming majority of lawyers use a tenth of an hour as the minimal hourly increment. Where lawyers use more than a tenth of an hour increment, there will always be an issue of whether that minimal charge is appropriate. Moreover, where lawyers write down more time than they spend on a given matter, they are likely going to be held liable for overbilling. Typically, overbilling occurs whenever an attorney charges the client for more time than he or she actually spent on a given matter.

Evaluating whether a bill is inflated requires broad experience in a wide array of subject matters. Klein & Wilson's attorneys are very experienced in a wide range of subject matters such as attorny ethics, lawyer malpractice and task padding which help recognize when an attorney has inflated time and excessively billed a client.
