Okay, let’s tackle this. So John Phipps has an impressive 54 years of experience as a lawyer, which is extremely rare. His skills in divorce law, family law, and commercial litigation are in high demand. Location is Champaign, IL, which is a mid-sized city. Lawyers with his level of experience, especially in litigation, typically charge higher rates. Maybe around $200–$400 per hour? But considering his extensive experience, maybe higher. Some top lawyers can charge $600+. Let’s check averages. Lawyers with his experience might average $300–$500. So I’ll estimate around $350–$400. Given his extensive experience, I’m leaning towards the higher end of that range.
