The best way to find a lawyer is to go to a legal referral service
at a local bar association. There are bar associations in many
counties. The Legal Referral Services of the bar associations
located in New York City are also listed in this report. Legal
referral services have lists of participating
lawyers. When a
person calls or comes in, the bar association's legal referral
service will refer him/her to a lawyer who is in the client's
geographical area. There is a small fee, as stated in the listing,
which goes to the lawyer for the initial consultation. After that,
the fee arrangement is negotiated between the client and the
lawyer.
