It’s not possible for lawyers to get behind on personal bills when doing pro bono work?They bill you 1/10 (6 min.) of an hour for a phone call. Do you know how many (unnecessary) billable phone calls a person can make in an hour/day?
You can bet there are IRS/tax advantages for "pro bono" work lawyers do or they wouldn't do it. That's why/how GOP_Lady knows how many hours are NOT billed...that time is "pro bono" time -wink-wink.
I know that my aunt called my grandfather’s estate lawyer more than once and just a few minutes was billed at what appeared to be a very generous hour’s rate. It was taken out of the estate, so all the siblings lost every time she called (didn’t want her loan from her father to count against her inheritance). I have yet to figure out why she wasn’t billed, instead of the estate, except she was very good at wheedling.
