Featured member benefit: Lawyer Referral Service
Looking to expand your client base? Join the MBA's Lawyer Referral Service and receive referrals in your community
The MBA's Lawyer Referral Service (LRS) is one of the largest
referral services of its kind, making more than 21,000 referrals
each year to its 1,000 attorney members throughout the state.
Joining the LRS offers you the opportunity to both expand your
client base and help the general public. We invite you to join now,
and invest in your professional future.
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 you must be in
good standing with the Board of Bar Overseers and provide a proof
of insurance by forwarding a Certificate of Insurance from your
current professional liability insurance carrier. The cost of
joining the LRS is either $100 or $150 depending on how long you
have been admitted to practice. Just one LRS referral can
cover the cost of your annual membership in both the MBA and the
LRS.
Over the past few years, the LRS has expanded its statewide
marketing to include:
- Development of radio campaigns;
- Marketing on the Internet via Google;
- Newly designed advertising in the Metro
Newspaper;
- MBTA trains, buses and subway platforms.
LRS will continue to advertise in the Verizon Yellow
Page books, allowing you to receive referrals within
your community.
