Lawyer-to-lawyer network increases the profession's competence, sign up for the 2006 Lawyer-to-Lawyer directory by Sept. 30

Aug. 9, 2005

Join a network of attorneys who share their knowledge in particular areas of law with other lawyers through free, brief telephone consultations. This 700-plus attorney network helps increase competence within the profession, reduce malpractice, and provide better delivery of legal services to the public.

"The Lawyer-to-Lawyer directory is a good way to share knowledge with other lawyers," says State Bar President Michael Guerin. "People like me use it for referrals, and I suspect people refer cases to me merely because I have been listed in the directory. This is a profession where we rely upon each other, and I think it is a very appropriate and reasonable thing to do to extend a hand to our colleagues."

The directory, which is revised every two years and published in the annual Wisconsin Lawyer Directory, allows lawyers to readily identify other lawyers who are willing to share their knowledge and expertise in specific areas of law. It includes an alphabetical listing, and a topical listing that is broken into major categories and subcategories. The easy-to-use "Out-of-State Listing" facilitates finding State Bar of Wisconsin lawyers who practice in other states.
