An Attorney shall be entitled to have and recover from his client reasonable compensation for his services with a view to the importance of the subject matter or controversy, the extent of the services rendered, and the professional standing of the attorney. A contract for a contingent fee, where sanctioned by law should be reasonable under all the circumstances of the case including the risk and uncertainty of the compensation, but should always be subject to the supervision of the Court, as to its reasonableness. The client shall bear all the expenses and cost of litigation. A lawyer may not properly agree with a client that the lawyer shalll pay or bear the expenses of litigation; he may in good faith advance expenses as a matter of convenience, but subject to reimbursement. . In fixing fees, it should not be forgotten that the legal profession is a branch in the administration of Justice, not a mere money-getting trade. A member who stubbornly refuses to follow the foregoing standard fee schedule shall be reported to the IBP National Office for appropriate disciplinary action. Pro Bono or legal aid cases may allow the lawyer to receive payment from the client to cover for the office expenses and other actual costs incurred by the lawyer. The foregoing Standard Attorney's Fees Schedule supersedes all previous Attorney's Fees Schedule. . This Standard Minimum Attorney's Fees Schedule shall be effective on the 15" day of December 2018.
