PA Bar Association (PBA)

Lawyer Referral Service (LRS) – refers consumers to lawyers in the state that do not have a referral service of their own. Lawyers participate in this service on a voluntary basis and have indicated the areas of law in which they will accept referrals. There is no charge for contacting LRS. By using this service, the participating attorney agrees to grant Referral Service clients an initial consultation of up to one half-hour for a fee of $30; $10 of that fee shall be returned to the PBA Lawyer Referral Service with the client referral form. If it is the policy of the attorney to waive initial consultation fees, he/she is required to collect the $10 referral fee to be returned to the PBA. This includes Referral Lawyer Services for Exceptional Children & Disabilities.
