Local bar associations lawyer referral services provide a valuable service to both their attorney members and the public.
Most lawyer referral services:
- ... are run by staff at the bar association, using antiquated desktop software or no software at all.
- ... are only available during business hours of the bar association.
- ... are only accessible by calling or by stopping by the bar office.
- ... rely upon the participating attorneys to collect the referral fee and remit it to the bar association.
- ... rely upon bar association staff to correctly classify the legal problem and refer to the correct type of attorney.
Our software, developed by a Virginia attorney and former Arlington County Bar Association board member, Ryan Brown, brings the latest technology to streamline lawyer referral services.
Lawyer Referral Solutions is a turn-key, web or kiosk based lawyer referal system that:
- Quickly routes the client to the correct practice area using a series of intuitive questions.
- Collects payment up front from the client, ensuring that the Bar Association is paid at the time of referral, eliminating the accounting for the participating attorney and bar association after the fact, and ensuring that the client is invested in the referral and will follow through.
- Sends an e-mail or text message to the client and the attorney immediately upon referral.
- Handles conflicts of interest by allowing the referred attorney to reject the referral and have the system automatically assign another attorney and notify the client.
- Allows attorneys to register, manage their practice areas, and manage vacations online.
- Allows Bar Association administrators to continue to accept referrals over the phone, to manually process payments for clients without credit cards, to manually enroll attorneys, and to view the status of all referrals.
- Links to the Bar Association web site for 24x7x365 access to the lawyer referral service.
- Support for multiple languages.

Simply pay a fee of five dollars ($5.00)*, per referral, which can be included in your base referral fee, or passed along to the client as an additional charge.
