Reduced Fee Schedule
Lawyers joining the JusticeNet Program can offer their services at reduced fees according to either JusticeNet's "Reduced Fee Schedule", or a flat discount rate for participating senior lawyers. JusticeNet's "Reduced Fee Schedule" is a sliding scale of reduced fees, ranging from $120 – 190 per hour, depending on a client's net family income and number of dependents.
The current "Reduced Fee Schedule" is as follows:

JusticeNet asks that other fee components such as retainers and disbursements are to be moderate in consideration of our clients' finanical situations.

Testimonial
“Our justice system will be further strengthened with the introduction of the JusticeNet program, as it will serve to complement existing access to justice programs intended for people who do not qualify for legal aid.”
The Hon. Rob Nicholson, Minister of Justice and Attorney General of Canada
