Do you need to hire a lawyer?
For over 73 years, the Akron Bar Association has provided a Lawyer Referral & Information Service (LRIS) to the general public of Summit, Medina, Portage, and Wayne Counties. LRIS exceeds the standards of the Supreme Court of Ohio, and has an A+ accreditation from the Better Business Bureau (BBB).
Hours of Operation
The Akron Bar STRONGLY ENCOURAGES you to use our 24-7 Online Referral Portal if you need a lawyer. The Online Referral Portal uses the same process that our intake specialists use to refer a lawyer.
Referrals via the LRIS Online Portal are available 24-hours a day, 365 days a year.
Referrals via telephone are available Mon. – Thur. from 9 am – 5 pm EST and Fri. from 9 am – 4 pm EST by calling 330.253.5038.
Affordable Fee
For a non-refundable fee# of $30*, you will receive up to a 30-minute consultation with a LRIS lawyer. During the consultation if you elect to retain the LRIS lawyer, please inquiry about their fees, etc.
Please Note:
The consultation may result in the attorney determining that the case, as presented, does not meet the criteria to move forward with legal action. If this occurs, the client is not eligible for a refund, because the client received the consultation for which they have paid. Sometimes attorneys have to be the bearer of bad news.
*The Akron Bar waives the $30 fee if your legal matter is concerning Disability Benefits, Personal Injuries, Bankruptcy, or Veteran’s Benefits.
