Frequently asked questions

  • We suggest using the WHO, WHAT, WHERE, WHEN to explain your issue in 1-3 sentences.

    EXAMPLES:

    My mother was hit by an 18-wheeler on Jan 24 and has been in the hospital for 3 days.

    I am opening a restaurant with my best friend and we need to set up the business.

    My husband filed for divorce. We have 3 children and own a home and business together.

    My wife and I want to write our wills or set up a trust. We have children from prior marriages and 2 children together. We need advice on how to set these up.

  • The Lawyer Referral Service is a free public service. Please note, we provide referrals to attorneys for hire. If you are in need of free or reduced fee legal service you will need to reach out to a local legal aid organization.

  • Once provided with a referral, you must contact the attorney directly to schedule a first-time consultation. Please allow 2-3 business days for the lawyer to return your call. Each attorney has their own scheduling requirements. Please consult with your referred attorney or firm staff for more information.

  • Fees must be discussed directly with the lawyer. The Lawyer Referral Service does not calculate or provide fee information. Fees are dependent on the type and complexity of your case. Please note, attorneys will need to discuss your legal issue, in an initial consultation, before determining fees and the correct fee structure.

  • Since 1966, the San Antonio Bar Association’s Lawyer Referral Service (LRS) has operated as the only certified lawyer referral service in San Antonio. This service is certified as a lawyer referral service as required by the State of Texas under Chapter 952, Occupations Code.

  • Our referral attorneys are screened annually, must be in good standing with the State Bar of Texas and must carry professional liability insurance.*

    Many referral websites are operated by for-profit advertising and marketing companies and they may not necessarily have the same standards as a certified lawyer referral service.

    *Criminal defense attorneys are exempt from the insurance requirement.
