Lawyer Referral Services
If you are a victim or survivor of abuse, you may want to ask the Bar Association’s Lawyer Referral Service whether or not they screen for lawyers who are experienced in handling domestic violence cases. For a suggested list of questions to ask regarding the lawyer’s fees and experience when interviewing an attorney, go to our Choosing and Working with a Lawyer page.

We share these resources to help all victims and survivors of abuse find essential direct services and support their needs and safety concerns.

The State Bar of South Dakota Lawyer Referral Service is a public service to help you find a qualified, local lawyer. Lawyers who participate in this program will give you a consultation, during which you will receive:
- Guidance on the nature of your legal issue from a trained, friendly attorney;
- Potential options available to you;
- A discussion on the costs associated with hiring an attorney.
Note from WomensLaw.org: It is not clear from the SD Bar Association website if the consultation is free or if there is a cost. Please be sure to clarify that with the lawyer before you go to the consultation.
