Riverside's Lawyer Referral Service Here for You




The Riverside County Bar Association has been around serving the needs of Riverside County since 1894. Since its modest beginning, the Bar has grown in both its mission and its services. Originally, the bar association was created to serve as a bridge between the bench and the lawyers of Riverside County. Its goal was to facilitate communication and relations between the judges on the bench and the lawyers who practiced before them.

Riverside has changed dramatically  over time and the bar association has grown and evolved right alongside it. The bar association has expanded its mission to address the growing needs of the Riverside community and now provides many valuable services to the public at large.

Since 1968, the Lawyer Referral Service has been reaching out directly to the Riverside community.  The goal of the Lawyer Referral Service is to provide anyone who calls the bar with the right information and the appropriate legal resource. That resource may take the form of a referral to Legal Aid or a referral to a private attorney for a consultation on a legal  issue.

The lawyers who serve on the Referral Service are local experienced attorneys who agree to be bound by the Service Rules, follow the highest ethical standards and agree to offer a $40 half hour consultation for anyone referred through the Service (and for some types of legal matters there’s no consult fee at all).  

So, if you run into a problem at work or at home, face an accident or just need some questions answered, please keep the Riverside County LRS in mind and call us at (951) 682-7520. We’re here to help you and we’re happy to do it.
