Getting a referral to a Massachusetts Bar Association attorney
just got easier -- and faster -- thanks to a recent update to www.MassLawHelp.com, the online gateway to the
MBA's Lawyer Referral Service (LRS). Individuals looking for a
lawyer will now be able to get the name of a qualified MBA attorney
instantly -- 24 hours a day, seven days a week -- after filling out
a brief online form. The website's improved capability will benefit
legal consumers and LRS panel members by making connections even
more accessible.
Since its inception in 1974, the LRS has helped more than
500,000 people find the right attorney by referring individuals to
active MBA LRS members statewide who are in good standing with the
Massachusetts Board of Bar Overseers. The new online form on MassLawHelp.com replaces the previous online
request form with state-of-the art technology that allows website
visitors to automatically get the name of a qualified, insured
attorney who is competent and capable of handling cases in the area
of law they request.
Users will be sent an email listing the name, address, telephone
number and email address of the attorney. The attorney will also
receive an email containing the user's contact information,
including telephone number and email address. Anyone needing a
reduced fee referral will be asked to contact the LRS via telephone
to determine their eligibility. The LRS will also continue to
provide referrals by phone during normal business hours at (617)
654-0400 or toll-free (866) MASS-LRS/(866) 627-7577.
Current LRS panel members are automatically enrolled in this
program.
