If you need to find an attorney in the State of Colorado, consider using a lawyer referral service. These public services are offered by local bar association or other types of non-profit organizations. Lawyer Referral Services in Colorado include the El Paso County Bar Association and the Metropolitan Lawyer Referral Service, Inc.
When you call the lawyer referral service, a trained staff person will talk with you about the facts of your case during a confidential initial screening process. If appropriate, the staff person will refer you to a qualified attorney. For a nominal processing fee, you can contact the attorney for a 30 minute consultation at no additional charge.
These programs are regulated by the Sate Bar of Colorado. Lawyer referral services throughout the United States can also seek recognition from the American Bar Association for meeting the standards set by the ABA.
