More details to this question:
My husband died last month - He has several stocks in his name only. I need a Letter of Testamentary as his Personal Representative to act on his behalf, and get these stocks into my name. What is the usual price/hour for a lawyer to file with the Probate Court for these letters, and how long should it take?

This varies by location, lawyer and the complexity of the case. One does not simply file and get Letters Testamentary. There is a hearing. The court appoints the personal representative. The time to get a hearing also varies by location and by court. Note that there are court filing fees.
