Email: mnlris@mnbars.org
The Minnesota Lawyer Referral and Information Service (MNLRIS) connects persons with legal issues to one of over 200 qualified private attorneys practicing in over 50 areas of law. Referral counselors are available who can set up appointments with attorneys, provide general information about the legal process, and direct people to appropriate legal resources. Referral counselors are not attorneys; however, they can help clients focus on their legal issues and determine the type of assistance needed. The charge for a 30-minute consultation with a lawyer is $30. If the attorney is not able to help you, feel free to contact MNLRIS for a second referral. There is no additional $30 fee. Serves Hennepin and Ramsey Counties.
