A law referral is when a client is sent to work with a different attorney, often for a specific reason. The original attorney may recommend the new lawyer because they have expertise in the relevant area of law. 

Lawyer referral services can help people find lawyers who can assist with their legal needs. These services can be provided by state and local bar associations, non-profit organizations, or advocacy groups. Some services are free, while others charge a fee. 

When using a lawyer referral service, you can expect the following: 

• Assessment: The service will ask about your legal needs to determine if you can resolve the issue without a lawyer.

• Referral: If you need a lawyer, the service will connect you with one who can help with your legal problem.

• Consultation: You can arrange a consultation with the lawyer for a reduced or no fee.

• Decision: After the consultation, you can decide whether or not to hire the lawyer.
