Yeah, had a lawyer once and we asked for a detail listing of the time he had
worked for us, and found that he had charged us for his sales pitch which
was before we decided to hire him.

This is just an opinion. The rate sounds like a fair one for a licensed

The open ended nature of the contract would bother me. It would also be
a
good idea to discuss what constitutes billable time. If he is thinking
about your project as he drives home are you billed for the time? Don't
laugh I know lawyers who do it this way.

With a lot of lawyers they don't even have to be thinking about you to
bill you for their time...
