Hourly Rates

For more complex tasks or ongoing support, hourly billing is common: 

• General Support: $30 – $80 per hour for administrative tasks and simple filings.

• Specialized Prep: $40 – $125 per hour for legal research, drafting pleadings, or litigation support.

• Florida Average: Non-lawyer hourly rates in Florida law firms average roughly $182 per hour (unadjusted for cost of living).

• Notary & Courier Services: Mobile notary services in Florida often charge a $25 traveling fee plus $10 per signature.
