Lawyer Referral Service Now Online

The West Virginia State Bar’s Lawyer Referral Service Committee would like to introduce the new Lawyer Referral Service website! www.wvlawyerreferral.org. The new service is designed to provide a faster and easier way for the public to connect with attorneys who may be willing to take on new cases. Participants in the new Lawyer Referral Service can be searched by practice area and zip code.

 

Features of the New LRS Website

  • Search By Zip Code, County & Practice Area
  • 24/7 Instant access to your information
  • Information on basic legal issues and practice areas to assist the public in becoming better informed on basic issues to eliminate unnecessary referrals to a lawyer
  • Free registration for State Bar Members who register during the 2012-2013 FY

If you are interested in receiving referrals through this service please CLICK HERE.  The service goes online to the public on November 30, 2012 at  www.wvlawyerreferral.org
