In my area of the country the hourly rate is $170-250 on average per hour. We have no children and no crazy assets and I was told 20-30 hours, but most of it depends on how much is my dBPDw going to drag it out. So in my case about 4000 to 6000 dollars is what I am planning on.
That is me... . I have the retainer agree on my desk and going to sign the first check in the next couple days.
