CA solos/contract litigators with 10+ years of experience—what is the lowest hourly rate you’ll accept? I keep seeing these $85-100/h rate postings and, for a HCOL area, that feels like it’s just a race to the bottom. But maybe the HCOL lawyers just can’t compete?

I won’t go less than $100 and that would only be for some type of public interest/nonprofit/govt work. For private employers, $160 is the lowest I’ve done.

I am of counsel at a firm where I can set my own rate and keep a percentage of collections, which varies slightly depending on whether the client is one I generated or not.

I work at a small, 3 lawyer firm. One of the lawyers is not barred in the state we practice.

Is this normal? I am not provided time to review the materials before I file them so I end up working longer days because I am nervous to file something using my name and bar number.
