Palm Coast to Hire Paralegal to Offset Rates

PALM COAST, Fla.-- In the midst of choosing Orlando-based law firm Brown, Garganese, Weiss & D'Agresta as their first choice for legal council, the Palm Coast City Council also decided to hire a paralegal at roughly $45,000 a year to take the edge off the firm's hourly rates. Brown proposed to the Council a $150 per hour fee for attorney services and $75 per hour for paralegal services. The new paralegal hire will conduct research and draft ordinances and resolutions, according to the Assistant City Manager.
