Lawyer Referral Service

Searching for an attorney to take on your case? Our Lawyer Referral and Information Service (LRIS) program is here to help. You may request a referral to a NY licensed attorney online only at www.FindALawyerNYS.org. First, you will be asked which county in New York you would like to help in. Then, which category of law your issue falls into. Next, you will follow prompts to gather more information about your situation, all under the strictest confidence, to see if there is an attorney available to review your case for consultation. The LRIS program is for those seeking attorneys for hire, no pro-bono services are offered. Click below to learn more.
