Why aren't other lawyer referral services on the internet any good? When you use a traditional lawyer referral service, you don't know anything about the attorney who is going to get your case. Usually these lawyer-finder services work in one of two ways. The service may charge a flat fee to the lawyer to list their names for referrals. There are no qualifications required of the lawyer, just a questionably ethical referral fee. The second way these lawyer-finder services work is as a collective of lawyers who pay for and maintain the web site. Again there is no required qualification and any lawyer can join.
