The Lawyer Referral Service (LRS) is a service designed to assist the public in locating lawyers for specific types of legal matters. Clients can be referred by telephone, mail, or the Internet. The LRS operates by matching potential clients to a member of the Lawyer Referral attorney panel. LRS will provide a 30-minute conference with an LRS member for $25.
After the brief consultation, clients determine if they would like to hire the attorney at the attorney's regular fee scale. Each year, thousands of clients are referred to the LRS member attorneys. ACBA members may join the Lawyer Referral Service panel for a nominal fee and have access to the referrals.
The ACBA Lawyer Referral Service meets American Bar Association Standards for lawyer referral services.
