Lana Encheff is known for billing two clients for the same hour of work, which is dubious legally and ethically. That doesn't mean it's uncommon for the firm Bryan Cave LLP, as I know: I am their client, I work at Bank of America and have direct knowledge. Lana and Stuart Price, her boss and managing partner, admitted to occasionally double-billing clients, even though the practice has been condemned by the American Bar Association and most legal commentators, and of course the California Bar Association.
Padding hours is a typical method employed by Bryan Cave, and of course through its perpetrators Lana Encheff and Stuart Price. Work for ninety minutes? Call it two hours. Forget how long you worked? Call it five. Here is a good one, have a complaint against your client with minimal arguments? Write a 100 page motion to strike or 50 page demurrer, even if the complaint is incomprehensible and falls on its own.
