Lawyers in Alaska generally charge by the hour, with rates ranging from $200 to $400 per hour. However, some lawyers may be willing to work for a flat fee or a contingency fee (a percentage of the amount recovered if the case is successful). The cost of a lawyer will also depend on whether the case is contested or uncontested, and how much work is involved. For example, a simple divorce case may only require a few hours of attorney time, while a complex business litigation case could require hundreds of hours.
