Generally, an attorney bills the client for actual time
spent working on the case. This may include things like
research, time in court room, interviews, etc. Other
administrative tasks are often billed at a different rate.
Additional costs such as witness fees, court reporters,
travel costs, etc can be billed separately and in addition
to the hourly rate of the attorney.
