Lawyer Referral and Information Service DOL Referral Program
The
NYSBA Lawyer Referral and Information Service (LRIS) is partnering with
the U.S. Department of Labor and the ABA to coordinate a nationwide
ABA-approved hotline of lawyer referral services for contingency fee
FLSA and FMLA cases. To qualify, you must have handled at least
three FLSA or three FMLA cases through discovery in the last five years.
If you meet these criteria and are interested in applying for
the panel, please fill out an application and submit it to the
NYSBA LRIS today. (Our normal application fee is being waived for this
special program.)
Four easy steps to sign-up
