ASSOCIATION LAWYER REFERRAL & INFORMATION SERVICE
The Beverly Hills Bar Association Lawyer Referral
& Information Service was formed in 1976 as a service to the public to provide
referrals to competent and ethical legal representation. The service operates as a
private non-profit corporation. Our major concern is to provide individuals and
businesses with an experienced attorney ready, willing and able to provide quality legal
services at a fair price.
Our commitment to quality service is demonstrated
by our Certification as a lawyer referral service by the State Bar of California which
certifies only those referral services that meet or exceed the standards
approved by the Supreme Court of California

When you call the Beverly Hills Bar
Association Lawyer Referral & Information Service, you will speak with a staff
counselor who is experienced in analyzing potential legal problems. The counselors
are trained to help you decide if you require legal help, or if non-legal assistance
better serves your needs. If a lawyer's advice is necessary, the counselor will call
you with the name and phone number of an attorney experienced with your problem.
Appointments are made directly between you and the attorney or, if you prefer, the Beverly
Hills Bar Association Lawyer Referral & Information Service can make the appointment
for you. It may be that your case will need the attention of an attorney, but our
statistics show that many times consumer or governmental agencies can provide the
necessary help. Last year more the 75% of the people who called our service did not
require the advice of a private attorney. If referral to a consumer, governmental or
public service agency is in your best interests, a staff counselor will be glad to direct
you.

How can the service
help me choose a lawyer to fit my special needs?

The Beverly Hills Bar Association Lawyer Referral & Information
Service consists of panels of attorneys, all members in good standing
with the State Bar who have met a required level of professional
experience. They provide an opportunity for you to discuss
your problem with a lawyer for a reasonable fee. Currently we work
with over 150 lawyers in over 35 legal fields, including Family Law,
Estate Planning, Personal Injury, Real Property, Corporate and Business
Law, Criminal Law and Entertainment Law to name a few. The Beverly
Hills Bar Association Lawyer Referral & Information Service in all cases
meet or exceeds the standards set for lawyer referral services by the
Supreme Court and State Bar of California. |
|
What will this cost?
|
There is NO Initial Fee, you
are entitled to two referrals (if necessary) and consultations with an
attorney of up to a half-hour each. And keep in mind, you are
under no obligation to retain the attorney to whom you are referred.
If you do choose to hire the lawyer for additional legal services,
future fees should be decided upon at the first consultation. Be
sure you understand how the lawyer's fees will be determined and when
they will need to be paid. A written agreement that states
how the lawyer will charge for services is required by law in most cases
and could help prevent further problems.
