Finding an Attorney

Lawyer Referral Service (LRS) is a public service of the Idaho State Bar. Idaho attorneys who are part of this service have agreed to provide clients with an initial $35 half-hour consultation. After the initial half-hour, further fees are negotiated with the lawyer.

You can receive a referral by calling the Idaho State Bar at (208) 334-4500 or you can access a full listing of attorneys by visiting the Lawyer Referral pages on the Idaho State Bar’s website.

If you are low income and need a lawyer for a civil matter, programs like Idaho Volunteer Lawyers Program or Idaho Legal Aid Services may be able to help. Using a statewide network of attorneys, these programs provide free civil legal assistance in certain cases to persons living in poverty. Case types include: domestic violence and sexual assault, protecting abused and neglected children, preserving housing, helping vulnerable seniors, and discrimination.

If you have been accused of a crime and cannot afford an attorney, you may qualify for free help. Contact your county’s Public Defender office for more information.
