When you call, you’ll speak confidentially with a legal referral specialist who will listen to your situation and help determine the best next step.
If it’s appropriate, you’ll be matched with an attorney who handles your type of legal issue. If a lawyer isn’t needed, we’ll connect you with the most suitable alternative resource.
If, after speaking with an LRS legal assistant, you decide to hire an attorney, we’ll refer you to a lawyer in your area who handles cases like yours and has expressed interest in your type of legal matter.
After receiving your attorney’s contact information, reach out to their office directly to schedule an appointment. Be sure to mention that you were referred through the State Bar of Wisconsin’s Lawyer Referral Service—this ensures your first 30-minute consultation will cost no more than $20.
