Statewide Minimum Fees Opposed by Local Lawyers
Berkshire law officials oppose a Massachusetts Bar Association plan for a statewide minimum fee schedule arguing it would raise costs in the county. Andrew T. Campoli, chair of the Berkshire Bar Association minimum fee committee, cites large gaps between Hampden and Berkshire fees and warns new rules could drive litigants to self representation. A meeting to discuss the proposal is set for Thursday at the County Courthouse.
