The Virginia Lawyer Referral Service (VLRS) was founded in 1977 to assist the public with referrals to practicing members of the Virginia State Bar. The VLRS makes over 20 referrals a day or 5,900 a year; and receives over 18,000 calls yearly. Panel members (Bar members who sign up to receive calls) receive only those referrals they indicate on the VLRS membership application they feel they are competent in handling.
The $35.00 non-refundable referral fee, which is collected by the Virginia Lawyer Referral Service (VLRS) at time of referring, entitles the referred caller to an up to one half-hour (30 minute) consultation with a VLRS lawyer that is a VSB member in good standing. The up to one-half-hour consultation may be by phone or in person. There is no obligation on either party to go beyond the initial consultation.
