A report from the Administrative Office of Pennsylvania Courts said it found "no evidence" that the Lackawanna County guardian ad litem had been billing hundreds of thousands of dollars to litigants and that she "rarely" sent parties bills beyond a $300 retainer fee to each party that automatically comes with a guardian appointment.

But one litigant who has claimed in a federal lawsuit that attorney Danielle M. Ross, Lackawanna County’s main guardian ad litem, billed him more than $10,000, told The Legal on Monday that he had provided copies of those bills to the AOPC during its review.
