Lawyer Referral Service
The NCBA Lawyer Referral Service matches attorneys with members of the public who seek attorney referrals via the LRS call center and web-based referral requests. LRS member attorneys agree to offer an initial 30-minute consultation for $50 for LRS-referred clients (fees beyond that may be set directly by the attorney).
