As part of the Bar's Affordable Attorneys for All initiative, the Modest Means Lawyer Referral program helps Utahns with modest earnings find a lawyer offering discounted rates to match their incomes.

If you qualify, you will be referred to lawyer who charges up to $50 or $75 an hour, or a corresponding flat fee. Hourly or flat-fee services often require advance payment (a retainer). The application is in two parts: 1st to see if you qualify and 2nd for questions about you and your situation (there is a $25 non-refundable administrative fee. Payment for this online purchase must be made using VISA or MASTERCARD.).

Check the box or boxes related to your legal needs. We are unable to help in other areas, including but not limited to: personal injury, disability, contracts outside of consumer law, constitution, attorney malpractice, federal claims, immigration, or intellectual property. If you are unsure what area of law your case falls under please call 801.297.7049.

Income includes income from adults or children where the income is used on household expenses (not including, for example, a child who makes $50 a week babysitting to save for college).

Assets do not need to include:

  • a. Your primary residence.
  • b. One vehicle per driver in your household used primarily for transportation and not used for recreational purposes.
  • c. Up to $3,500 of the fair market value of work-related tools and equipment.
