Check out a local lawyer's rates. You can look at local state bar's website for what the average hourly wage is for your area.

After gathering all of that information, try comparing everything from credentials to personality to determine whether or not a prospective lawyer has reasonable rates. Be sure to watch for set rates and hidden fees.
