What Is A "Reasonable Fee?"

I have lost count of the e-mails I've seen requesting referrals to criminal and civil lawyers. I've also lost count of how many of them seek a "reasonable fee."

The problem is that I don't know what defines a "reasonable fee."

My prediction?

Anything from $0 to $500.

Am I right?

I have another question:

If criminal defense lawyers are tired of some civil lawyers believing that we are worth much less than we charge, how are we "acquitting" ourselves when we try to refer our now broke clients to them?
