Does anyone know the average rate for a divorce attorney in SF Bay Area? I have never hired one so any info is appreciated. Thank you so much.

All that I have been told is it is so different for everyone, because every case is so different.  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.

Thank you so much. I was told by my legal insurance that it cost 2k to 3k just to start the case.
