The Shoreline Office will reduce our hourly rates for clients whose gross annual household income is below 400% of the Federal Poverty Level (FPL).
Your gross annual household income includes all income (before expenses) of all the income-earners living in your home. The amount of the fee reduction is shown on this sliding fee schedule.
To qualify for reduced fees under this sliding fee schedule, you must request the fee reduction before services are provided and must provide documentation of your current gross household income. We may adjust this sliding fee schedule from time to time without notice.
The sliding fee schedule is available in the following practice areas for Shoreline clients only:
- Business
- Elder Law
- Estate Planning (Wills & Trusts)
- Probate / Estate Administration
- Trust and Estate Disputes
To find the fee reduction that would apply to you, find the row on the federal poverty guideline chart available here: Poverty Guidelines.

50% Reduction (Income below 200% of FPL)
25% Reduction (Income at 200% – 300% of FPL)
10% Reduction (Income at 300% – 400% of FPL)
