Modest Means Project
The Modest Means Project is a partnership program of the State Bar of Arizona and the Arizona Foundation for Legal Services and Education.
The Modest Means Project provides low-cost legal assistance to people who don't qualify for free legal services, but can't afford to pay the standard rate for attorneys. Project attorneys assist individuals in a one-hour meeting for a fee of $75. In that meeting, attorneys offer only brief advice or unbundled services. Though not expected, a lawyer may offer full representation beyond the scope of the Project's one-hour consultation commitment, but must maintain the fee of $75 per hour. The Modest Means Project does not require attorneys to provide free legal services.
Legal issues available through the Modest Means Project are:
- Adult Guardianship
- Bankruptcy
- Consumer Law
- Consumer Law Appeals
- Criminal Misdemeanors
- Employment Law
- Family Law
- Family Law Appeals
- Guardianship
- Housing: Foreclosure
- Housing: Landlord/Tenant
- Immigration
- Juvenile Guardianship
- Mediation
- Wills & Trusts
