Legal Referral Service

I recently had the privilege of utilizing The Legal Aid Society's Attorney Referral Service, and I am compelled to share my overwhelmingly positive experience. From the moment I reached out, the service exceeded my expectations in every aspect.

The representative I spoke with demonstrated an impressive level of knowledge, professionalism, and genuine care. She patiently listened to my concerns, offering valuable insights and guidance tailored to my specific situation. Her expertise not only reassured me but also helped me understand the intricacies of engaging with attorneys effectively.

What stood out the most was the representative's commitment to ensuring that I felt supported and well-informed throughout the process. Her willingness to go above and beyond in addressing my questions and providing practical tips on how to navigate finding the right attorney was truly commendable.

Thank you, Legal Aid Society, for providing such a valuable and essential service to the community. Your dedication to justice is truly admirable, and I am grateful for the positive experience I had with your Attorney Referral Service.

This is my 2nd time using this service and the response time to my inquiry was rapid. The information gleaned was instrumental
And helped me make decisions about what to do in my legal issues. The representative provided me with 2 lawyers to meet with and was 100% transparent and so I was able to set realistic expectations for myself, the consultations and for my movement forward with legal cases.

I completed a consultation with a participating attorney and it was as simple connecting as it was helpful in understand my rights as a resident in NYC. The lawyer listened to my situation and gave me legal context and information to help me make my personal decision. Feels like a life-saving call and am very grateful for their free services!!

The Rep was sensitive to my needs and clearly explained the referral process. He was courteous and professional and ensured that I received the emails before the call ended

After submitting a form online, I was immediately contacted via email to support my request/needs. I received 2 referrals and will be moving forward to assess if they can assist with my legal matters. Thanks for a quick, prompt response!

I reached out to the New York City Bar Legal Services to inquire about a legal issue and spoke to Attorney William. He was very helpful, pleasant and knowledgeable and shared sound recommendations regarding our situation. He gladly answered all of our many questions, which put us at ease.
It helped to confirm that we were on the right track. I highly recommend contacting them for any questions, concerns or information that you need to help you through your legal process.

William called me back half an hour after I submitted a referral request (on a Friday night after they closed no less!), and was able to put my mind at ease and walk me through the process. I felt like I was in good hands and won’t hesitate for a second about using them again. Highly recommended!

MIMI IS WONDERFUL! SUCH KINDNESS , AND KNOWLEDGE! SHE GAVE ME MANY REFERRALS FOR MY DISABILITY CASE. SHE RECOMMENDED A LOT OF FREE ATTORNEYS, AND I FEEL MUCH BETTER ABOUT MY SITUATION. TELL HER THANK YOU FOR ALL THE HELP PLEASE.

William Bell was excellent. He listened patiently to my request for a referral, he asked all the pertinent questions and he had an excellent referral for me. I could not ask for better service.
Based on my experience with William Bell, I think LRS offers outstanding service.

Great customer service. Maria actually took her time to explain everything, provide extra resources and really put the human in human being with not being brushed off or judged.

Thank you again

I really appreciate the representative that helped me and was so open without judgement to hear my legal issue. She listened diligently and gave me all the resources I needed to move forward to gaining legal representation. This was the best service I received and I couldn’t have been happier to grasp some type of help during these hard times I’m enduring.

The representative I spoke with was compassionate and I felt comfortable detailing my situation to her. I feel she was informative and kind. Thank you for providing me with an excellent customer support experience which is so far from the norm these days.

I spoke to this wonderful lady this morning in regards to a building complaint. She was so informative, pleasant, caring and nice. Not only did she refer me to someone that can assist me better. She gave me detail tips on how to go about my situation. I’m very happy that I spoke with her today, she gave me some confidence. I would definitely use them if needed in the future!

I am going through a bit of a legal issue with my apartment Landlord and didn’t know where to turn. Luckily, I found this service where I filled out a form and got an immediate same-day response. William really helped to answer a lot of my questions and point me in the right direction. I feel so much better now. Thank you so much William!

Excellent service. I spoke with William who listened to my problem, explained the services provided by this organization and offered me some avenues I can explore to attempt to resolve my issue. Although I know there will be work to do to resolve my issue, it gave me a lot of peace of mind to have someone listen to my issue and take it seriously.

I haven’t spoken with a lawyer or other legal professional in many years, and I was unsure and anxious about how to proceed. But the interaction I had on the phone with [darn, I forgot his name] was a very positive and informative experience. He explained next steps very lucidly and patiently. In a matter of minutes I went from trepidation to satisfaction .

Even though I am in a truly stressful situation in terms of my residence and property management interactions, my experience with NY Legal Referral Service was a bright light in the midst of everything. It makes a huge difference to speak with a human who is friendly, helpful, and warm. Furthermore, my call yielded useful information.

Mimi was extremely helpful in directing me to both free and low cost legal assistance while I attempt to navigate a time sensitive legal matter. Not only were the referrals helpful, but her sensitivity and kind words made my day and helped fortify my strength while navigating the daunting legal processes. I strongly recommend Legal Referral Service!

I had the pleasure of speaking with Mr. William regarding g my immigration needs. Mr. William who made sure I got connected to the right lawyers to meet my needs.
I found him to be very professional, hands on and very well put together
I recommend used his services in the future

A friend recommended I reach out to LRS for help with a noise code issue. I submitted the request form for a lawyer at night and heard back the next morning. The lawyer I talked to was incredibly helpful, kind, and gave me great feedback. I'm hoping the issue we're having will be resolved quickly, but if it isn't, I'll reach out to LRS again for more support. I'm grateful to the friend who brought LRS to my attention - what a great resource for the community and the city.
