A 20% surcharge is applied for cases held on weekends and holidays or time after 6:00 p.m. Fees are based on the published rate when a case begins. Cases that are resumed after a three-month period of inactivity are billed at the then prevailing rate.

Reduced fees are available for those with a limited income or faced with unusual financial hardship upon presentation of supporting documentation.

Many Employee Assistance Programs offer financial assistance. Please check with your Human Resources Department.

The above rates are effective as of November 1, 2012.
