Occasionally LAWPRO gets asked to give an opinion on the effectiveness or legitimacy of the various lawyer referral services that try to get people to sign up. All we can really say is we aren’t aware of any problems relating to them, and it’s up to individual lawyers to decide whether its a good use of their money to get new clients this way.

just how believable their claims are in terms of the number of new clients promised and how vetted the services are.
