What will happen when I call the Lawyer Referral Service?

When you call the Lawyer Referral Service, you will speak with an interviewer who is experienced in analyzing potential legal problems.

LRS interviewers are trained to help you decide if you require an attorney, or if non-legal assistance better serves your needs.

To enable our staff to provide the proper assistance, please be prepared to explain your legal problem.

However, LRS interviewers are not attorneys and may not give legal advice.

 

What will I need for the initial consultation?

In order to save time and money, you should bring all relevant documents and information to your first appointment.

The names, addresses, and telephone numbers of people involved and documents such as lease agreements and contractswill help the attorney understand you particular problem. Be prepared to explain your case completely and clearly -- sometimes writing down the important points in advance will help.
