QUALIFIED INCOME LEGAL TEAM (QUILT) PROGRAM

When You Need a Lawyer

...The QUILT Program Has You Covered.



HOURS OF OPERATION

Monday - Friday (excluding holidays)

9AM - 4:30PM


The Qualified Income Legal Team (QUILT) Program was designed to help individuals and families

who are "too rich" for free legal services and "too poor" to afford regular attorney fees by offering

assistance with legal representation at a reduced fee.  It is comprised of local attorneys who are

members in good standing of the State Bar of Arizona (the licensing authority for lawyers).

There is a $30 application/referral fee at the time you apply AND you are responsible for paying the

reduced attorney fees that apply to your specific case.  To participate in the QUILT Program, you

MUST meet the financial eligibility guidelines.

THE QUILT PROGRAM CAN ASSIST WITH THE FOLLOWING TYPES OF CASES:

»  Civil Cases:  Include Divorce, Foreclosure, General Civil Litigation, Guardianship, Landlord/Tenant Matters

»  Criminal / DUI Cases:  Include Criminal Misdemeanors and DUI Cases

make these arrangements.  The attorney fees and payment will be discussed during the consultation.

What To Expect When You Consult With The Lawyer

At the meeting, the lawyer will discuss your legal concern with you & advise you of the options

for handling it.

It is important that you bring all papers related to your legal problem to the meeting.

It will save you time and money.

If you choose to have the lawyer handle your legal matter, you will need to discuss

the lawyer's fees during the meeting.

Fees are based on the time and type of work involved and the difficulty in handling the legal concern.

Be sure you understand what the lawyer will do and how the fee will be determined.  You should ask

the lawyer for a written fee agreement explaining how the fee will be determined.

* If you are unable to keep your scheduled appointment, please notify the lawyer.
