There is a $45 non-refundable administrative fee to use the SCCBA Lawyer Referral Service. This fee is only refundable if we have NO lawyer in the practice area you need. Please review the practice areas offered before booking your appointment.

We do not provide free legal services or low-cost. This is a REFERRAL service only.

All Attorneys in our Lawyer Referral Service charge NO FEE for up to the first 30 minutes in consultation. Neither you, nor the lawyer, are under any obligation to continue beyond the first consultation. If your problem requires further legal services and you elect to hire the lawyer, you and the lawyer will negotiate the fee to be charged.

If the lawyers fees are unaffordable for you, we are unable to assist you further. The consultation was held. If there was no consultation, call us and we will refer to a second attorney.

If the first attorney is unable to assist you, i.e. is unavailable, or unable to meet your particular need, you may be re-referred to a second attorney at no additional administrative fee.
