The ABA Journal published an article last week about an Altman Weil Survey finding that 95% of law firms plan to increase fees by an average of 4%. Yikes!
Specifically, the article, quoting a report from Reuters, states:
Almost all of the law firms responding to a survey by consultant Altman Weil Inc. are planning to raise their fees this year, if they haven’t already…The median increase in fees, compared to 2010, is 4 percent.
Wolfe Law Group is proud that it has never – I repeat, never – raised its rate on a client. In fact, we made a point of this at the turn of the year this past January, when we posted on our blog that 2011 Marks Sixth Year Wolfe Law Group Refuses To Raise Rates.
We’ve said it a thousand times: Wolfe Law Group is different. When we make an agreement with our clients, we stick to it.
