Ya gotta admire a guy who can get this much done in one day, eh??
UPPER DARBY, Pennsylvania (AP) -- A lawyer who made $421,327 representing a suburban school district in one year submitted a bill for an 81-hour day and three for 25-hour days, a newspaper review found.
Attorney Barry Van Rensler blamed innocent mistakes for the billing errors in the fiscal year that ended June 30, 2002, and returned $19,361 to the Upper Darby School District last week.
"I love the school district, and I would never intentionally overcharge them," Van Rensler told The Philadelphia Inquirer, which reviewed his bills.
Damn; perhaps I should have gone to law school after all. While the rest of us are shackled by the old 24-hours-in-one-day limitation, attorneys have apparently learned the secret to getting more out of their days. When you get paid by the hour, this is the key to success, no?
