SCALE Legal’s low income immigration law practice serves individuals with household incomes between the “extremely low income” and “low income” limits as determined by HUD. We also represent individuals whose annual household income is at or below 125% of the federal poverty line, should they be unable to qualify for an alternate legal aid program. We charge fees using a sliding scale that sets attorney’s fees based on the client’s household income. Our fees range from $75 per hour to $135 per hour, well below market rates. SCALE Legal’s Board-approved sliding fee scale, based on 2017’s income limits set by HUD, is detailed below:
