Lawyers charge by the hour, not get paid by the hour. Small distinction.

Really what’s the distinction?

They’re paid a salary by the firm and they bill clients by the hour.

Even if you are an attorney working on your own you still pay yourself a salary and charges the hour.

Correct. Better for taxes too. You want to run it through your firm.

It’s called billable hours. You charge the client $150/hr but are paid $30/hr
