The Legal Pad: A Great Bargain!

October 17, 2008

A Great Bargain!

Everyone is talking about ways to save money...

I was on the phone with a gentleman who told me he called an attorney's office to schedule a consultation. The potential client told me the attorney's charge for a consultation would be $175.00. He told the receptionist, "Thanks, but No Thanks" and called me for a referral.

The Missouri Bar Lawyer Referral Service charges $25.00 to refer folks to attorneys. The $25.00 charge gives that person an up to thirty minute consultation (in person or sometimes on the phone) to discuss their situation, get their legal questions answered, and to get legal advice. There is no obligation on the part of the lawyer to take their case.

In these tough economic times, the lawyer referral service is a bargain! Our attorneys are all members of The Missouri Bar in good standing; they all have professional liability insurance; and all accept new clients. We're quick & we're easy. As a convenience to our callers, we offer payment of the $25.00 fee by debit or credit card.

The lawyer referral service is designed to assist persons who are able to pay normal and customary attorney fees. The Missouri Bar Lawyer Referral Service is not legal aid.

Next time you have someone who is calling for a consultation and your firm doesn't handle that sort of situation, refer that person to The Missouri Bar Lawyer Referral Service at 573-636-3635.
