There are two options available:
- CONY Legal Hotline*: Members receive a free 30-minute consultation annually. If additional services are needed, they can transition to the Legal Services Plan at a reduced rate. The CONY Legal Hotline is not covered by insurance. Participating members are wholly responsible for the payment of legal fees and expenses. This program provides specified legal services at reduced rates to members and their families only

Members are responsible for court costs, filing fees, and other expenses, in addition to the firm's fees outlined in this plan. Special circumstances may affect the quoted rates.
