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.
