Lawyer Referral Service

July 18, 2012

If you are looking for new clients in 2012, the Lawyer Referral Service is a great place to start! Now is the time to join the LRS program.  In the month of June alone, the LRS gave out 1008 referrals. 

Take advantage of the great mid-year rates we have to offer right now.  For a member joining the LRS in July, dues for one categoy are $90, and $30 extra for each additional category.  If you join in August, one category is just $75 and only $25 extra per additional category.  These dues pay your membership through December 31, 2012.

In order to maintain a status that meets ABA standards, there are rules for members.  The first is that you must be licensed to practice in Illinois.  One year bar admission is required unless attorneys meet minimum qualification requirements.  LRS members must pay 10% of any fees over $1,000 generated to the LRS and must provide current proof of Malpractice Insurance each year.  In order to maintain accurate information for the program, we also require that referral follow-up forms are completed and returned within 2 weeks. 

The LRS advertises the program to the community and is always researching and testing new methods to increase knowledge of the program and callers.  The LRS also continues to expand its online presence through social media and digital advertising.  Visit the LRS on Facebook:  http://www.facebook.com/pages/Lawyer-Referral-Service/140981415947938
