How much did your lawyer cost per hour?

So I spoke with a lawyer today that I trust. This lawyer has also gotten amazing reviews from people vs some of the scary things I've read about others. However, her fees (though lower than a few others) are still rather high. The legal retaining fee is $5,000 and the fee per hour is $480. She has already provided me several hours of free chats on the phone (because she is a friend of a friend) but I'm going to need her to give me legal advice and step in to help deal with the BD. As it is she noticed that his correspondence attempts to blame our inability for us to agree on me. She wants to start changing this and prepare us for court.

 Were your lawyers as expensive? I realized today that I went into the wrong business! I make less than 10% of what she makes per hour. Holy cow.
