Lawyer Referral Service

If you need help with a legal issue, the State Bar of Wisconsin's Lawyer Referral Service (LRS) is a good place to start. LRS is a public service to help identify the most appropriate resource for consumers with legal problems. Callers may be referred to an attorney that may be able to help them with their legal problem. We do not give legal advice.

You can either call and speak to one of our legal assistants for free or obtain a referral to a lawyer who practices in the type of law you need from our online system after you answer some basic questions. This online service requires a non-refundable payment of $30.

Calling:

Step 1: Call 1-800-362-9082

Phone: Monday-Friday 8:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m.
Online: Available 24 hours a day.

If you are NOT looking for a lawyer, please call Customer Service at (800)728-7788.


Step 2: Connect with a specialist

When you call, you will discuss your issue with a legal referral specialist. This confidential conversation will help us match you with the right lawyer. If your issue can be resolved without a lawyer, you will receive information for the appropriate resource.


Step 3: Receive your referral

After speaking with an LRS legal assistant, you may decide that you need to hire an attorney. If so, we will refer you to an attorney in your area who has indicated an interest in your type of legal situation.


Step 4: Contact your lawyer

Once you receive your lawyer's contact information, call their office to set up an appointment. Let them know that you found them through the State Bar of Wisconsin Lawyer Referral Service. Your first half-hour consultation will be no more than $20.
