Lawyer Referral and Information Service Q&A

What is the LRIS membership fee?
LRIS panel members pay an annual fee of $75 ($125 for non-NYSBA members).

What is the referral fee if a client retains my services?
LRIS panel members agree to remit 10% of their entire fee if the fee is $500 or more.

Do I need to carry malpractice insurance?
Yes, LRIS panel members are required to provide proof of malpractice insurance in the minimum amount of $100,000.

What if I can’t help a client that was referred to me?
If you decline a referral for any reason, you should refer the client back to LRIS. A LRIS client can also be seen by another attorney in your firm but the referral will be tracked as a referral to you.

Do I have to have an office in the County that I want to receive referrals from?
Yes, attorney members must have an office in one of our 40* service counties to be eligible to participate in our referral panel.

How do I sign up?
