One call to MCBA's Lawyer Referral Service puts you in touch with
the right lawyer, right away.
- There
is a $40.00 referral fee (waived for personal injury,
all negligence, workers' compensation and Social Security Disability
matters) which includes the first half-hour consultation with
the lawyer.
- Should
you choose to hire the lawyer after the initial consultation,
fees will be arranged between you and that lawyer.
PROTECT
YOURSELF
It
is always a good idea to check with a lawyer before you make important
decisions whether you are buying a house, setting up a business,
settling an estate or contemplating how to resolve a personal injury
matter. A brief talk with a lawyer is often all you will need. Ask
questions, such as:
How serious is my problem?
How can it be resolved quickly and fairly?
How do I settle the matter for good?
You can get legal advice and answers to your questions in these

HOW
THE SERVICE WORKS
Call
the Lawyer Referral Service, (585) 546-2130, Monday through
Friday,
9:30
a.m.-11:30 a.m. or 2:30-4:00 pm for
a referral to a lawyer.
The Lawyer Referral Service maintains a list of private lawyers
who have designated their specific areas of practice. They have
agreed to provide 30-minute consultations within their areas of
practice to answer any questions you may have, and to offer legal
advice. The advice can include: reviewing the terms and conditions
of a contractual agreement; advising you of your specific obligations
under the law; or explaining the process of moving a matter through
the court system. Whatever the case may be, LRS can usually find
someone who can speak knowledgeably on your matter of concern.
When you call the service, LRS staff will briefly discuss your legal
need with you to determine whether we can be of some assistance.
Upon determining that a referral to a private lawyer is appropriate,
we will refer you to the lawyer whose area(s) of practice most closely
fit your legal need. You will be provided with the name and telephone
number of the lawyer and instructed to contact the lawyer for a
consultation appointment in their office. After meeting with the
lawyer, all of your questions may be answered. However, further
services may be necessary and you may either choose to hire the
LRS lawyer to provide these services or seek additional counsel.
In any event, you are under no further obligation of any kind beyond
the initial consultation.
