How a referral works when the case is not criminal

People find a criminal lawyer and then describe a crash, a firing, a custody date, or a surgery. That mismatch is the reason this site exists.

The desk is not the trial lawyer for every kind of case that arrives here. It still takes the message.

You tell us what happened and where. We send the introduction to a lawyer who handles that work. You are not passed a list of ten names and left to sort them.

The lawyer who receives the matter is the one who can talk about fees, deadlines, and whether they will take the case. We do not quote their fee, and we do not promise they will say yes.

Nothing on this website is a review of your facts. Reading an article, even one that sounds like your situation, is not legal advice. The advice starts, if it starts at all, when a lawyer agrees to represent you.

If the case is criminal, the same form still works. Say it is criminal in the first line so it is sorted correctly.
