Fee Dispute Rules

Editorial Guidelines

Did you know the Missouri Ethics rules state that any fee dispute should not be litigated but
instead should be referred to the fee dispute committee of the Missouri Bar?

Rule 4-1.5 (f) states: “When a fee dispute arises between a lawyer and a client, the lawyer shall conscientiously
consider participating in the appropriate fee dispute resolution program. This does not apply if a fee is set by
statute or by a court or administrative agency with authority to determine the fee.” Click
here for the entire Rule 1.5.
