Need A Lawyer? Call (734) 996-3229 for the Lawyer Referral and Information Service of the Washtenaw County Bar Association.

It's always a good idea to check with a lawyer before you make an important decision - whether you're buying a house, making a business deal or settling a dispute. A short talk with a lawyer often tells you all you need to know. THERE IS A $30 FEE FOR THE FIRST HALF-HOUR CONSULTATION. Fees for additional services after the first half-hour are arranged between you and the lawyer. Last year, over 1200 people used our service.
