Annual Litigation Rate Data

Compare & Prove Litigation Rates with NALFA Survey Data

Every year, NALFA conducts a survey of prevailing market rates in civil litigation in the U.S. This is the nation’s largest and most comprehensive survey or study of billing rates in litigation.

DISCLAIMER: Due to the death of the survey point person, NALFA is offering it at a reduced price because we cannot comment on the specific methodology or offer a tutorial on how it was conducted. Suffice it to say, we will provide all data we have and have every reason to believe Terry Jesse, the late Executive Director of NALFA, followed all the protocols he has since the survey was offered in 2020. Prior versions of the survey have been admitted in courts as evidence of attorney fees. No refunds on any purchase.
