Professional Responsiblity Links
After signing up to advertise, our website permits attorneys and law firms to indicate whether or not they pay referral fees / joint representation fees. This creates a great opportunity to both provide and receive referrals with lawyers in other States and Cities, etc.. Before you indicate whether or not your firm pays these types of fees please verify whether or not your relevant state bar permits such a sharing of fees, and if so, under what conditions. We have noticed that the various states differ on this topic although it appeared most jurisdictions permit some form of fee-sharing agreements. All attorneys and law firms assume the risk of compliance in this regard pursuant to our terms of use.
