Lawyer Referral Services (LRS)

A lawyer referral service refers potential clients to attorneys. This means that if you want to talk to a lawyer, a lawyer referral service is a good place to call. The lawyer referral service staff will interview you and, if you have a legal problem, will match you with a lawyer who is experienced in the appropriate area of law. You will then see the lawyer for an initial consultation or speak to the lawyer on the phone. In California, lawyer referral services must be certified by the State Bar and must conform to certain standards adopted by the California Supreme Court. Please note: The State Bar is NOT a lawyer referral service and cannot give any legal advice or direct you to a specific attorney. How can a lawyer referral service help me? If you need legal help, a certified lawyer referral service can put you in touch with a lawyer who can help you with your problem.
