The MBA's Lawyer Referral Service is one of the largest referral services of its kind, making more than 25,000 referrals each year to its 1,000 attorney members throughout the state. That makes joining the LRS a sound choice for MBA members. Your membership with LRS not only helps the public, it also offers you the opportunity to expand your client base. We invite you to invest in this public service and your professional future by joining. If you join after Feb. 1, your membership will continue to March 31, 2012, but your expanded client base will last for years.

As an MBA Member, you can participate in this program by completing a separate application form which can be sent to you upon request. Additionally, in order to join the LRS program you must be in good standing with the Board of Bar Overseers and provide proof of insurance, by forwarding a Certificate of Insurance from your current professional liability insurance carrier. The cost of joining LRS is either $100 or $150, depending on how long you have been admitted to practice.

Over the past few years, the LRS program has expanded its statewide marketing to include:

• Development of radio campaigns;
• Newly designed advertising in the Metro-Boston newspaper; and
• MBTA trains and platforms ads.
