Need Referrals? We've Got You Covered - Join the LRIS Program
Each year, the Nashville Bar Association’s LRIS program fields thousands of inquiries from people actively seeking legal help. As a participating LRIS attorney, you’ll gain access to a steady stream of qualified referrals—and play a vital role in expanding access to justice in our community.
As a practicing attorney, your time is valuable. LRIS helps you grow your practice efficiently by offering:
Pre-Screened Referrals
We carefully screen each inquiry to match clients with attorneys in the appropriate practice area. That means you only receive referrals relevant to your practice.
A Robust Referral Pipeline
We intake thousands of requests each year, covering a wide range of practice areas. If your practice fits our current needs, you could start receiving referrals almost immediately.
Targeted Matching
Our team considers a range of factors—including practice area, geography, and language preferences—to make the best possible match between client and attorney.
Client Development Support
Each referred client pays a modest consultation fee (waived in select categories), helping filter out non-serious inquiries. You handle your own fees and retain full control of the attorney-client relationship.
Ongoing Promotion of Your Services
Funds generated through LRIS go right back into outreach—expanding public awareness, advertising the service, and supporting related public interest programs.
Community Impact
By participating in LRIS, you’re not only growing your practice—you’re also contributing to a program that helps people access legal support who otherwise wouldn’t know where to turn.
