Lawyer Referral Service 
Find A Lawyer
Do you have a legal question involving divorce/domestic, buying and selling real estate, municipal/traffic court, contracts, employment/worker's comp, credit problems, bankruptcy, wills/estate planning/trusts, etc?
Finding an attorney is just a phone call away at (816) 221-9472 or you can get an e-mail referral. We will put you in contact with an attorney for a 30 minute consultation. The objective of our Lawyer Referral Service (LRS) is to make legal services readily available to individuals and families in need of a lawyer. All calls and inquiries are confidential.
The KCMBA operates in six counties of the Kansas City metropolitan area including: Johnson, Wyandotte, Jackson, Clay, Platte, and Cass. All attorneys are licensed and insured members of the Lawyer Referral Panel. All attorneys are listed by area of law and geographic area for your convenience.

How The Service Works
When you call, the LRS clerk will ask what county you are calling from and where you'd like to see an attorney. The LRS clerk will have you state your legal matter briefly (any information you provide will be held in the strictest confidence). You can submit your request electronically by clicking on the LRS link above, selecting a county and submitting the form that is provided.
The LRS clerk will listen to your legal matter and take your name, address and telephone number. If another resource is more appropriate for your situation, the LRS clerk will provide that information. If a referral to an attorney is called for, you will be given the name of a lawyer near you who practices in your area of need. The LRS clerk will then transfer your call to the referred attorney's office. If you presented your legal matter via e-mail, the Service may need to contact you for additional details.
The Cost
LRS attorneys agree to provide an initial consultation of thirty minutes for a fee they will negotiate with you in advance.
During the visit you will discuss your case with the attorney. If it is determined that you do have a legal problem, it is up to you to make another appointment or to authorize the lawyer to take action on your behalf. Any fees beyond the initial consultation fee will also be decided between you and the lawyer.
The Lawyer Referral Service is designed to serve people who can afford the services of an attorney. Those who have legal problems and cannot afford a lawyer should contact the Legal Aid Office in their community.
