LeGaL Lawyer Referral Service

If you need an attorney referral please follow the instructions provided below.  In most instances, referrals submitted via e-mail will receive a quicker response but LeGaL will seek to respond to all inquiries as soon as possible

Based on your description of the issue involved, you will be given the name and contact information of an attorney or attorneys who have indicated a willingness to accept cases in your area of need.

Please note the following:

* LeGaL’s Lawyer Referral Service does not itself engage in the practice of law and cannot answer legal questions or give legal advice, but instead offers to refer you to a private attorney who may charge a fee for his or her services. During your consultation with a referral attorney you should discuss any legal issues that you may have and any retainer fee or other fees that may apply should you choose to retain the attorney.

* No fee is charged for the referral service, and there is no fee sharing agreement between LeGaL and the referring attorney. However, if you retain an attorney through the referral service the attorney may provide LeGaL a small referral fee.

* LeGaL does not screen attorneys for its referral service and makes no representations regarding the qualifications or experience of its referral attorneys. However, attorneys listed on the service self-certify that they are admitted to practice and in good standing, have a malpractice insurance policy and experience in the areas of law in which they request to be listed.

* LeGaL generally only provides referrals to lawyers located within the NYC/NJ areas.
