Why Attorneys Trust AeroLegal With Their Referrals
AeroLegal receives most of its personal injury matters through referrals from trusted colleagues. Every case is led by UCLA Law–trained senior partners, from the initial call with the referring attorney through resolution.
By maintaining a limited caseload, we give each matter the attention it deserves—and that focus drives superior results.
We respect the relationship you’ve built with your clients. Our focus is delivering that same standard of care in every personal injury matter.
A Better Referral Experience for Your Clients
UCLA Law Trained Attorneys
Our Senior Partners graduated with distinction from UCLA Law School. We have experience dealing with sophisticated clients, and we base our practice on respect, intelligence, ethics and excellence.
Senior Partner–Led Cases
Every case is handled directly by a Senior Partner. We intentionally limit our caseload so that each client receives focused attention and consistent communication.
Fast Case Resolution
Our hands-on approach often resolves cases within 6–9 months, significantly faster than the industry average of 18–24+ months, while delivering more favorable outcomes.
Referral Fees Made Simple and Ethical
We value our referral relationships and proudly share a fee split with our attorney referral partners.
All referral fees are handled promptly, transparently, and in full compliance with California Rule of Professional Conduct 1.5.1 and the ABA Model Rules on fee-splitting. Fees are shared only with a written agreement, client consent, and after the matter is resolved.
Curt Brown, Esq., one of our founders, is a legal ethics professor and leading expert on fee-splitting, bringing unmatched expertise to every referral relationship.

While Providing Superior Client Care
We help answer your attorney referral questions.
What is an attorney referral?
An attorney referral is the process of directing a client to another attorney who has the experience or resources to handle their case, often when the referring attorney cannot take it on.
How do referral fees work?
Referral fees are typically a percentage of the legal fees collected from the referred client. They are shared in compliance with state bar rules and only with client consent and a written agreement.
Is it ethical to accept a referral fee?
Yes, as long as the referral fee arrangement follows professional conduct rules, is transparent, and the client is informed and consents to the arrangement.
Do I need a written agreement for referral fees?
Yes. A written agreement ensures clarity on the fee split, protects both attorneys, and is required by most state bar regulations.
Can I refer a case to any attorney?
You should refer cases only to attorneys who are competent in the relevant practice area and who you trust to provide high-quality client service.
How does client consent work for referrals?
Clients must be informed that their case is being referred and agree to the referral. Transparency ensures ethical compliance and maintains client trust.
What types of cases are best suited for referrals?
Cases that fall outside your practice area, exceed your current capacity, or require specialized expertise are ideal for referrals.
Will I still be informed about the client’s case?
Yes. Ethical referral arrangements often include updates to the referring attorney, so you can track the case’s progress and ensure your client receives excellent service.
