Texas has an exemplar system for surveying attorney fees and reporting meaningful statistics on what lawyers charge and earn. 

Read a sample of the reports and other information available at the Research Section of the Texas State Bar Office, and delve into the methods the state bar staff's uses to obtain the information.  You will see the power of a large bar harnessed to provide meaningful information on what lawyers charge and earn, as a part of letting lawyers practice law in a business-like way.

We keep on hand some of the Texas material.  E.g., the 2005 survey of lawyer fees in Texas.

The reason we keep information like this in our files is that we only testify on the reasonableness of an attorney's hourly rate if we believe that we have a sound basis for evaluation of fee charges.  Data is needed.  Statistical data, if available, is superior in many cases, to hearsay stories of what particular lawyers charge.
