State Bar of Nevada: Lawyer Referral & Information Service (LRS)
The Lawyer Referral and Information Service (LRS) is a free public service of the State Bar of Nevada. LRS have staff trained to select qualified and experienced attorneys for referrals. Attorneys are pre-screened and must meet pre-set qualifications in terms of cases handled and years of experience. LRS will provide you with the name of an attorney who practices in the area of law related to your problem so that you can set up a consultation.
When you call LRS, you will be asked what area of the state you are calling from and the nature of your legal problem. Any information you provide will be held in the strictest confidence. The LRS staff are not lawyers and therefore cannot give you legal advice, but will help you find the right resource for your situation.
Find attorneys, practice areas, schools, and articles using the Martindale-Hubbell database of legal professionals. You can also browse attorneys and law firms, view by specific practice areas, and browse by location.
Legal Directories Publishing Company, Inc.
