Can the Board intervene in a billing dispute with a GAL?

1 Answer

The Board does not set the fees, or the apportionment of fees, in particular cases and is not able to provide legal advice regarding how to proceed in a particular dispute with a GAL. Some of the Board’s “Ethical Standards and Standards of Practice”, however, deal with fees and the handling of accounts. If the practices of a GAL in regard to billing or accounts are believed to violate the “Ethical Standards and Standards of Practice” found in the Board’s rules, a person may consider whether he or she wishes to file a formal complaint with the Board.
