LAWYER REFERRAL SERVICES

Call the Bar Association’s Lawyer Referral Service (LRS) at 724.225.6710 to schedule a half-hour consultation with a licensed, insured attorney who has experience in the area of law related to your legal matter. The initial half-hour consultation with the attorney is $30 and is payable in advance of the consultation; any fees beyond the first half-hour should be discussed and agreed upon by you and the lawyer.

 

Our LRS Brochure includes information about how to find a lawyer, how lawyers set fees, who is qualified to give legal advice, and other resources that may be able to assist you.

 

If you meet federal income guidelines to qualify for free legal assistance, call Southwestern PA Legal Services at 724.225.6170 or its hotline at 1.888.855.3873. For information about statewide free legal assistance programs, check online at www.palegalservices.org or www.PaLawHelp.org.

A "Modest Means" Program has been developed to assist people who do not qualify for legal aid and who do not have -- or perceive that they do not have -- the financial resources to hire an attorney. This program offers clients an opportunity to access attorneys who have agreed to accept referrals on a reduced-fee basis in specified areas of law. To find out if you are eligible and, if so, to be refered to the program, contact Southwestern PA Legal Services at 724.225.6170.
