Fee structure
Lawyers joining the JusticeNet Program offer their services at reduced fees according to JusticeNet's reduced fee schedule. JusticeNet's “Standard Rate Fee Schedule” is a sliding scale of reduced fees, ranging from $100 – 150 per hour, depending on a client's net family income and number of dependants.
