Lawyer Referral

Lawyer Referral Network (LRN)

Connecting community members with experienced, LGBTQ+-affirming private practitioners, specialized legal aid providers, and pro bono resources throughout the Greater New York area.

How the Referral Process Works

1

Visit Tuesday Clinic

Referrals begin with a confidential, 15–20 minute intake consultation with a volunteer attorney at our free Tuesday evening legal clinic held at The Center in Manhattan.

2

Issue Assessment

Our volunteer attorneys evaluate the facts of your situation, identify procedural timelines, and determine the exact practice area and level of representation your case requires.

3

Network Matching

If your matter requires direct representation, your intake summary is circulated through our verified Lawyer Referral Network to connect you with an attorney who matches your legal and financial criteria.

No Direct Online or Cold Referrals

To ensure every client is connected with competent, appropriate, and conflict-free counsel, LGBT Bar NY does not provide immediate attorney referrals over the phone or via email. All prospective clients must first attend clinic intake so an attorney can properly screen and scope the legal issue.

👥 For Community Members

Need to hire an attorney or explore representation for a pending court matter, business dispute, housing issue, family proceeding, or discrimination claim?

  • Attend our free walk-in clinic every Tuesday (6:00 PM – 8:00 PM)
  • Arrive between 5:45 PM and 6:30 PM for initial intake
  • Bring all relevant court notices, contracts, leases, or filings

⚖️ For Attorneys & Firms

Are you a licensed New York attorney looking to build your practice, take on LGBTQ+-affirming matters, or receive fee-generating and pro bono case digests?

  • Available exclusively to current LGBT Bar NY members
  • Receive monthly screened clinic digests matching your practice areas
  • Expand your client base while serving the local community
Join the Lawyer Referral Panel →

LGBT Bar NY operates the Lawyer Referral Network solely as a community referral and intake service. Consultations at our clinics and referrals to network attorneys do not establish an attorney-client relationship with the Association or Foundation. Fee arrangements and engagement agreements are handled strictly between the client and the retained attorney.
