5.0 out of 5 stars Do away with the billable hour, January 18, 2009
By 
This review is from: Winning Alternatives to the Billable Hour: Strategies that Work (Paperback)
Winning Alternatives to the Billable Hour: Strategies that Work (3rd Edition), by Mark Robertson and James Calloway, is one of those books that delivers above and beyond the call of duty. This is the third edition to an already great book. Mark Robertson is a practicing lawyer in Oklahoma City and former chair of the ABA's Law Practice Management Section. Jim Calloway is an attorney who is the director of the Oklahoma Bar Association Management Assistance Program. Both combined their unique backgrounds and talents to write an outstanding book packed full of information about why the billable hour is not necessarily the best billable method.

In these days of economic madness, lawyers are finding that while their time is valuable, it's their knowledge that is more valuable and clients need to know that they are getting the best bang for the buck. Not all clients like to be billed by the hour, especially when they can find other lawyers who can do the same work but at a more reasonable rate.

Mark and Jim combined their years of knowledge to produce a book that gives the reader an understanding of the various billing methods and how to adapt different methods for different types of cases. They provide a roadmap for how to transition away from the billable hour. Technology has changed so many things for all of us, but to the lawyer that continues to bill by the hour, technology has become a double-edged sword.

I highly recommend this book to anyone and everyone that bills for their services, not just attorneys. It will help light the way to not only better billing practices, but also help to build better relationships with your clients.
