Hourly billing feels safe—but it’s actually one of the biggest traps holding law firms back. It limits your earning potential, creates tension with clients, and keeps you stuck trading time for money instead of building real value.

In this episode, Moshe Amsel sits down with Jonathan Stark, author of Hourly Billing Is Nuts and a leading voice in alternative pricing, to unpack why the billable hour model is broken—and what to do instead.

From fixed fees to subscription models, Moshe and Jonathan break down how to charge more ethically, boost client trust, and create a firm that grows without burning you out.

⏰It’s time to double your take-home pay and cut hours in ½.

Long hours, inconsistent income, and no clear path out of it are not fun revenue rollercoasters for any solo attorney.
