[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DH is $1.3-4 for a lower-lucrative practice,  bills less than 1500. [/quote]

International tax law?[/quote]

There were partners like this at my firm too.   Not many.  And they didn’t get much respect.  If the whole partnership did this the firm would fall apart. [/quote]

LOL, he brought in $8M+ last year. [/quote]

Well, you are following the very typical DCUM rule of burying the lead. Of course, if you bring in that much business you can get away with billing 1500 a year for 1.4 million. But it also begs the question:  How much time is he spending on business development?  He’s not sitting back around doing nothing while $8 million a year pours in. So something is amiss.  In other words, you’re a little full of shit about something.

Let me guess:  he works downtown and lives in the suburbs and leaves for work around 8 or 9 but magically for him his commutes only 15 minutes.  Right?[/quote]

I’m not burying the lede, I answered the question in the OP. I added that info when you wrongly stated someone like that would be a drain on the firm, when in fact, he’s penalized for not actually billing more—a choice he makes. I don’t know why you need a breakdown of his business development versus his billable hours versus his commute to believe it, but IDC if you do or not. [/quote]

The commute question was sarcastic.  I assumed you’d underestimate that too.

My point is that he’s not working 9 to 5 putting in 1500 hours and generating $8 million in collections.  His working harder than that.   He’s just not billing all the time.  [/quote]

I never said we eat dinner at 5:30. 😉 Add a couple hours, occasional work trips, or long days or a weekend and you’ll get there. [/quote]
