New clients are charged $75.00 per hour, and 55 cents per mile. 
There's a 4 hour minimum involved if I have to leave the home office 
and go somewhere. I generally cap things at 8 hours during a day. 
Expenses are billed at the end of the month. Long term clients are on 
a different rate structure but not substantially different in the 
hourly rate I charge. If someone's not willing to pay the rate, I 
refer them to others, and don't lose sleep over it.
