As a general rule, a lawyer's "stock in trade" is their time.
Time expended can be everything from phone calls, to meetings, to emails, to travel, to research, to preparation, review and strategy analysis.
Each lawyer is different but the more common ways of compensating a lawyer for their time are (a) an hourly rate, (b) flat rate based or (c) contingency.
Hourly is nothing more than billing for the time expended at an hourly rate.
Attorneys have different rates and base what they charge on various factors that can often depend upon the nature of the matter.

Honestly, sometimes that is very difficult to know.
The truth is that there are many things you can do on your own as good or better than an attorney and without spending a lot of money.
There are also some matters that are of relatively low value that it is simply uneconomic to hire a lawyer and you are better off pursuing matters on your own through small claims court or some other similar venue.
Other matters should almost always have an attorney involved.
As an example, most people do not understand oil and gas--a valid and binding contract that could dictate your rights for decades.
