What is LawyerConnect?
|
- LawyerConnect is a service offered by the Birmingham Bar Association to assist people in our community who want to hire an attorney.
- Birmingham Bar members are eligible to join LawyerConnect and will receive referrals based on their practice areas on a rotating basis.
- LawyerConnect is not a pro bono or reduced-fee service. Prospective clients are advised that all legal fees, including any consultation fee, are negotiated between the referred attorney and prospective client.
- Neither the attorney nor the potential client is under any obligation to move forward with the matter after the initial contact.

How much does it cost?
|
- Becoming a LawyerConnect attorney is only $150 per year.
- The program runs from May through April each year; fees are not pro-rated if a member joins during the course of the year.
