LRIS…Let HSBA Work for YOU!

HSBA Solos: Are you too busy practicing law and managing a practice to “market” yourself? Let the HSBA
Lawyer Referral and Information Service do this for you!
Our ABA sponsored service receives over 1000 calls per month and, after screening the calls, refers potential clients to members who join the service. We also advertise the service through local radio stations, public service announcements, and in print….as well as via the HSBA and the LRIS websites. You can’t afford NOT to have us work for and with you!
Just $300 gets you referrals in your area of practice, for a whole year.
