No charge to participate on the following panels and these do not count towards the allowed eight categories.HLRS LAWYER-ON-CALL PROGRAM AND REDUCED-FEE PROGRAMHLRS has two special programs that attorneys may participate on, the Lawyer-on-Call program and the Reduced Fee Program. There is no charge to participate on these programs designed to benefit the public. Lawyer-on-Call — HLRS continues to receive many calls from clients after business hours. As part of our "24 hour service" panel members can participate after 4:30 p.m. as the "on call" attorney who receives emergency and jail calls. You must be willing to assist citizens in many areas of law an in obtaining release from jail. You are permitted to handle any area of law you are competent to handle. If you choose to participate HLRS will contact you in advance to schedule your assigned weekend or evening. Reduced Fee Program — HLRS's Reduced Fee Program is designed to assist low income eligible individuals with civil matters. Any person who is employed or with some steady source of income but has a gross monthly income of less than 225% of the federal poverty level is eligible to participate. Panel members who enroll in the program are asked to reduce their normal fee by 25% and are contacted by HLRS staff for permission to make a referral prior to releasing the attorney's name. HLRS truly needs your support of this panel. HLRS provides reduced fee referrals in most areas of the law, excluding criminal law, any personal injury law, and when recoveries are likely. HLRS needs more family law attorneys to participate in this worthwhile program.After you Submit your ApplicationYou will receive an email after your submit your application (check your spam).
