Reasonable Laywer Fees in Texas

#788972 - 07/28/12 11:41 PM

Hi,
In Texas, I gave my Laywer a $1500 retainer to file an uncontested divorce. After several months and one postponement, he asked for another $1500 saying the retainer was all used up. His bills did reflect work done but I was suprised at $250 per hour.

Is that average, resonable or expensive?

It is over now. We did get a final agreement and divorce finalized at no additional costs but I just want to know how fairly I was charged.

If there were substantial assets 3k is not unreasonable.
