Reasonable Fees.  In civil default cases where reasonable

circumstances that convinces the court that a larger or smaller
fee should be awarded, provided, however, the court shall have
authority to vary from this schedule on its own motion:

     $1.00 to $ 999           $300
     $1,000.00 to $1,500      $325
     $1,500.01 to $2,000      $350
     $2,000.01 to $2,500      $375
     $2,500.01 to $3,000      $400
     $3,000.01 to $4,000      $425
     $4,000.01 to $5,000      $450.

For judgments exceeding $5,000, additional reasonable attorney
fees may be allowed of 5% of any balance over $5,000 without
formal justification or documentation.
