Frequently asked questions

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.
