Dallas appellate lawyer David Weiner says he had an epiphany about billing in 2009, which led him to leave his firm and hourly billing behind to open a flat-fee solo practice.

Dallas appellate lawyer David Weiner says he had an epiphany about billing in 2009, which led him to leave his firm and hourly billing behind to open a flat-fee solo practice.
“I had done flat-fee work when I was a younger lawyer doing criminal-defense work, and it dawned on me — I really did have this moment or this epiphany — when I realized I could apply that same model to civil appellate work,” Weiner says.
