A law firm best known for championing conservative causes made nearly $750,000 last year working as the new attorney for Ottawa County.
Invoices obtained by MLive/The Grand Rapids Press through a Freedom of Information Act request show Kallman Legal Group billed the county and its insurance authority for almost 3,006 hours of work in 2023, resulting in a total charge of $731,755.37.
The bulk of those earnings – $503,392 – was billed directly to the county for 2,237.3 hours of corporation counsel work, which includes attending county board meetings, providing legal opinions to county officials and departments, holding office hours, processing and responding to FOIA requests, ensuring county compliance with state law and more.
Kallman Legal Group charged $225 an hour for corporation counsel work in 2023, and that rate increased to $240 an hour this year.
