$126,225 — twice his regular fees.

Lawyer scum.

Nobody reasonably bills $63,112.50 to fight a simple flag flying case. I'm not a lawyer (THANK GOD!!!) but have taken things like this to court myself, pro se, and there is NO WAY, that this lawyer had to put over five WEEKS (at $300/hour) of time into this case. I had to figure out where/how to look up case law, write the memorandum of law, argue it in court, etc. I didn't even take more than five weeks.
