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.
