American Bar Association: lawyer referral directory
United States
Search state and local bar-association lawyer-referral services when you need a private attorney referral.
The ABA Lawyer Referral Directory indexes state and local bar-association referral programs. A referral is a connection to a lawyer or referral service, not a promise that the lawyer will accept the matter or charge a particular fee.
Who qualifies
Public directory. Referral programs and participating attorneys set consultation, fee and case requirements.
How to access it
Search by city and state, open the relevant referral service, and confirm consultation fees, attorney availability and the type of legal matter handled before relying on the referral.
Cost or fee
Directory access is free. Lawyer consultation and representation fees vary.
