It is not a sacrifice, I am giving nothing up, as I established that schedule/regimen when I opened the CTL firm. I hung a shingle upon passing the bar exam and never worked for anyone else.
You have made comments on my billing rate previously, but fail tp understand that billings do not equal profit. There are rents, salaries, taxes, insurance, utilities, etc. That are paid out of revenue.
As senior partner, my non-court rate is a modest $500 hour, modest because here in Fairfield County most name partners charge more in 2021. I am not greedy. My in court rate is much higher. That said, not every minute or hour of the working day is billable, and at this stage of life I enjoy a certain amount of pro bono work.
