How much does your lawyer charge?

How much do you pay a lawyer on the buy side of a transaction? I saw another thread that said they work with lawyers that have $250/hr rates. I've been told $550 and $700 by individual lawyers to close on a property.

Also, do experienced flippers still use a lawyer for each transaction? Is it more or less to represent on an off-market acquisition?
