LAWYER REFERRAL SERVICE
- What is the Lawyer Referral Service?
- The Lawyer Referral Service (LRS) is a non-profit public service program sponsored by the Hartford County Bar Association.
- The service is designed to assist people who have legal needs and wish to consult with a private attorney but do not know who to call. Lawyer Referral Service will refer the individual to an attorney who is a member in good standing of the Connecticut bar.
How Does The Lawyer Referral Service Work?- If you have a legal problem and wish to consult with an attorney, call the Lawyer Referral Service of the Hartford County Bar Association at (860) 525-6052. LRS will refer you to the appropriate attorney. Office hours are Monday through Thursday, 9:00 A.M. - 3:00 P.M. and Friday, 10 A.M. - 2 P.M. All referrals are made over the telephone.
- You will be asked a few questions in order to determine the nature of your legal needs. All information you tell the Lawyer Referral Service staff is strictly confidential.
- A moderate fee of $25 will be charged to you for the referral which entitles you to a ½ hour consultation with the attorney. The $25 fee will be waived for Personal Injury, Worker’s Compensation and Social Security Disability matters.
- If it is determined by the lawyer that further legal service is required, all additional fees will be discussed with the lawyer.
- It will be your responsibility to contact the attorney to arrange for an appointment. If you are unable to keep your appointment, please be sure to call the attorney to reschedule.
- Please note, this service does not handle reduced fee or pro bono referrals.
