The Lawyer Referral Service

Do you need a lawyer? A good lawyer can protect your freedom, finances and safety through many of life’s journeys — the good, the bad, the ugly and the utterly ordinary.

Are you buying or selling a house, starting a business, or adopting a child? Perhaps you are trapped in an abusive relationship, or discriminated against at work. Or you might have been accused of a crime, or are going through a divorce. No matter who you are, at some point in life you will probably need a good lawyer.

How it Works

Call us at (413) 586-8729. Your call will be answered by a Lawyer Referral Service staff member.  You will be asked to briefly state your situation or problem.  Any information you provide will be held in strict confidence.

If a referral is appropriate for your situation, you will need to provide your name, mailing address, telephone number and email address.

The staff member will give you the name, address and telephone number of a local lawyer who handles the type of case you described.

After the first meeting between you and the referred lawyer, it is up to you to decide whether to authorize the lawyer to take action on your behalf.

You will have up to one-half hour — free of charge — to discuss your matter with the attorney.  This free initial consultation is usually done over the telephone.  The fee for any additional service should be arranged during your initial meeting.

If the first lawyer you meet with does not satisfy your requirements — you may obtain up to three separate referrals for each case.

Any attorney you speak with for a consultation will present you with a clear up-front estimate of anticipated legal fees and costs, before you make a decision to retain their services.
