The Lawyer Referral Service, or LRS, is a program that delivers client referrals directly to attorneys’ emails. LRS does the heavy lifting by screening all referrals to ensure both a good match and the client’s ability to pay (callers who can’t pay for legal services are diverted to other resources).
Once an attorney signs up to become a panel member, LRS will begin sending them emails whenever they receive an inquiry from a client match.
Attorneys will also have access to an online portal where they can track referrals.
Upon receiving the referral, the attorney provides a 25-minute consultation, after which the attorney and the caller can choose whether to continue to work together.
To become a panel member, go to michbar.org/lrs and click “Sign up here.”
The base registration fee for panel members is $150 annually and includes four practice areas and two judicial circuit designations. Additional practice areas and judicial circuits can be purchased for $25 each (or expanded to include all Michigan judicial circuits for $300). In addition to the annual fee, panel members remit 10% of attorney fees to the Lawyer Referral Service.
For additional information, contact Panel Coordinator Monique Smith at 517-346-6323 or msmith@michbar.org.
