The Knoxville Bar Association Lawyer Referral & Information Service (LRIS) covers more than 22 areas of law and is comprised of lawyers with an average of over 10 years experience, ranging from newly admitted practitioners to some with over 40 years experience. We do our best to make our referrals to an appropriate lawyer on the basis of the client's needs, type of matter, complexity, and location. The Lawyer Referral Service is in compliance with The Supreme Court of Tennessee Rules Governing Lawyer Referral Services.

Last year our LRIS assisted over 3,000 people in matters covering all areas of law, such as car accidents, divorce, workplace injuries, debt problems, buying or selling a house, buying a business, intellectual property, collection, retirement planning, criminal and traffic defense. We help people who do not know a lawyer to find one. We also make referrals to appropriate government or social service agencies. We even help people who need lawyers in other cities around the country.

Picking the right lawyer is the first step in getting a good result.
