Fee Dispute Committee
The purpose of the Fee Dispute Committee is to provide for the expeditious resolution through arbitration of any dispute involving charges for professional services by attorneys whose principal offices are located in Chester County. Also the purpose is to provide for arbitration of fee disputes between attorneys in their professional capacity and physicians, stenographers, consultants and expert witnesses where the fee dispute arises out of a professional relationship other than that of attorney-client if both parties agree to be bound. The Fee Dispute Committee is to review complaints for referral, when appropriate, to the Disciplinary Board of the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania.

Disputes not subject to arbitration include:
  • Disputes where the fees and/or costs charged to or paid by the client or on the client's behalf have been determined pursuant to statute or by court order, rule, or decision;
  • Disputes where a third person is responsible for payment of the fees and the client fails to join in the request for arbitration.
