I have heard of Bar Association Referral Lists. Should I hire an Attorney from a bar referral lists?

A: You just need to understand how bar association referral lists. Many local or state bar associations operate “referral” lists where consumers can get the name of an attorney. Just understand that the lawyer has signed up and paid a fee to be included on the referral list.  Some—but not all—of these referral lists don’t bother to check or verify the attorney’s experience with the type of case that is being referred.
