Sign up for lawyer referral service  

The State Bar of Michigan’s Lawyer Referral Service, or LRS, delivers client referrals directly to attorneys’ emails. LRS  screens all referrals to ensure a good match and the client’s ability to pay.

Once an attorney signs up, LRS will send them emails whenever they receive an inquiry from a client match.

Attorneys will also have access to an online portal where they can track referrals.

The attorney provides a 25-minute consultation, after which the attorney and the caller can choose whether to continue to work together.
