Lawyer Referral Service
The Lawyer Referral Service of the Legal Hotline for Texans operates to provide a public service by which Texans may readily obtain legal services at an affordable fee.
How Does It Work?
When you call the Lawyer Referral Service staff will screen your call to determine the type of case, language needs, and geographic location of the case and make a referral based upon that information to a panel attorney.
You will be given the name and telephone number of the panel attorney and then transferred directly to the attorney’s office to arrange an appointment unless you request not to be connected.
If you hire the lawyer you will sign a professional services agreement and be charged according to a reduced fee schedule.
This service is certified as a lawyer referral service as required by the State of Texas under Chapter 952, Occupations Code.
Eligibility:
Texans of moderate income. (preferred) OR Texans with income up to 300% of the federal poverty income level.
