Until tomorow my hourly rate for family court modification cases is $125 per hour. I am raising them after tomorrow but in any event they will not be higher thatn $175 per hour for family court modifications. I am on the more competitive end. Most lawyers do charge higher rates. I am located on Long Island however. If you are upstate and only want to use a lawyer for consultations that is something you can consider. www.NYAttorneyDivorce.com www.CriminalDefense1.com
I am a lawyer in CT and practice in this area of the law. You want to try to make a deal to have the lawyer represent you for the day for a flat fee. Most lawyers in NY would come to court for you for $800.00. I suggest shopping around a bit and finding a solo practitioner (a one man firm) as they will be the ost reasonable with you and understanding. generally, the hourly rates are $300-800/hr.
