DOWNLOAD: TELA 2025 Attorneys’ Fees Hourly Rates Yearbook

This collection is drawn from court rulings, jury verdicts, arbitrations, and actual rates billed. Unlike summaries of anonymous surveys, it names the lawyers and cites sources. To compare quantity of experience, it is grouped by ten-year classes—like a yearbook groups classes from seniors to freshmen. It is organized by geographic regions corresponding with the four federal districts in Texas. It accounts for inflation to the end of 2024 via the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics’ data for legal services. It is limited to labor and employment law work in Texas.
