FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

How does the ACBA Lawyer Referral Service work?

Our Lawyer Referral Service has been the trusted source for lawyer referrals in
Alameda County for over 50 years. The State Bar of California regulates and
certifies our program. For most areas of law, we can provide you with up to two
attorney referrals.

Upon contacting the attorney, you would arrange for a free initial consultation
that will last no more than 30 minutes. After the consultation, the attorney
will decide if they can represent or assist you. We cannot guarantee that an
attorney will take your case; this is a decision for the attorney to make.

If the attorney is able to represent you, the attorney will discuss with you
their fee schedule. Most attorneys charge an hourly rate for their time. A
typical hourly rate will range between $300 to $400 per hour. Some attorneys
also charge a retainer fee that can range between $3,000 to $5,000.

We also have a new option to book an online appointment directly with an
attorney on our panel any time day or night. 

How do I know I’m getting the right lawyer for my case?

The Alameda County lawyer referral service has attorneys practicing in more than
70 different areas of law. We screen all LRS attorneys for their experience,
knowledge and professionalism.

Why not just find a lawyer in the phone book or ask a friend?

People have trusted our LRS for lawyer referrals in Alameda County for more than
50 years. We are regulated and certified by the State Bar of California. All LRS
attorneys are pre-screened for their experience, knowledge, and professionalism.
Additionally, all LRS attorneys are required to carry malpractice insurance.
This allows you and your attorney to focus on what’s important—resolving your
legal problem.

I don’t have money for an attorney; what should I do?

Please visit our resources page for a list of agencies in the Bay Area who may
be able to help you. Legal Access Alameda holds legal clinics in a limited
number of areas of law if you meet income guidelines.

I need free legal help. Can you help me?

You may be able to attend one of our free legal clinics if you have a case in
Alameda County. We do not provide an attorney to go with you to court, but our
volunteers can help with paperwork and give advice. Contact our referral
specialists HERE  or call 510.302.2222 and press option 4.

How do I file a complaint against my attorney? 

You can register a complaint with the California State Bar if your lawyer
acted unethically.
