How We Work
Minnesota Lawyer Referral is a non-profit program offering legal referrals across numerous areas of law in the Twin Cities metro area and statewide. Our service has been serving attorneys and the public since 1948.
Callers pay a $30 administrative fee for an appointment with a Minnesota Lawyer Referral panel attorney (waived for injury cases). Attorneys then provide a 30-minute consultation at no extra charge. If the client decides to hire the attorney, all subsequent fees are negotiated directly between them.
Benefits to Attorneys
Minnesota Lawyer Referral is a highly visible and trusted resource that effectively markets attorneys and their practice areas to the public. Minnesota Lawyer Referral helps attorneys find new clients affordably and build their practice.
Attorneys select specific legal areas for referrals, with over 100 practice areas and sub-panels available to target their preferred cases.
Our trained staff pre-screens clients who contact Minnesota Lawyer Referral, eliminating irrelevant inquiries to your office. Clients are informed that our panel attorneys set their own rates for representation and legal services. Participating in MNLR assures the public of receiving referrals to capable, experienced attorneys.
Benefits to the Public

They may feel anxious about finding the right attorney for their legal needs. We ease this process by answering basic questions, reducing anxiety, and referring them to attorneys familiar with the legal issues they are facing.
Our staff screens clients to identify the legal assistance needed and can schedule appointments with Minnesota Lawyer Referral panel attorneys or direct callers to community resources when that is more appropriate.
Callers receive referrals from a trustworthy, unbiased source to qualified attorneys experienced in the relevant practice areas. Minnesota Lawyer Referral has served the public for over seven decades.
