The LRIS maintains a list of attorneys by their particular areas of practice who are willing to consult for 30 minutes with a person who needs legal advice. Participating lawyers make no further charge for the initial half-hour consultation. Our lawyer referral representative will help you determine whether your matter requires lawyer assistance.
Confidentiality is guaranteed.
At the conclusion of the initial consultation, you and the lawyer have no further obligation to each other. Fees for additional services after the first half-hour are arranged between you and the lawyer. Other questions to ask would include information about possible outcomes, how long the lawyer thinks the matter will take, whether the lawyer will keep you informed as the case progresses, and whether anyone else will be working on your case. If you don't understand the answer to any of your questions, ask for an explanation. The lawyer should be able to explain so that you can understand and do not feel that you shouldn't have asked.
