The Knoxville Bar Association (KBA) is a lawyer's professional association whose members actively seek to give back to the community.  One of the longstanding public projects of the KBA is the Legal Resources Guide, a document created to assist Knoxville-area residents to find legal-related assistance.  Each year, KBA staff contact government agencies, nonprofits, pro bono organizations, and others to verify accuracy of the information presented in the guide. 

The most recent revised version of the Legal Resources Guide (LRG) is now available for online viewing or PDF download from the KBA website at www.knoxbar.org/LRG.  The guide is organized into six sections: Knoxville Bar Association Resources, Knox County Government Resources, Free or Reduced Fee Services, Special Services, Legal Research Options, and Additional Resources.  Mission, scope of service, hours, contact information, and other important facts about each organization are listed.

When downloading the guide, the user is asked to provide a name and email address and is subscribed to the monthly newsletter of the Lawyer Referral and Information Service.  We do not use these emails for other purposes or sell them, and it is easy to unsubscribe.  Our goal is to provide timely legal updates and resource information since we believe that the light of knowledge is powerful.

The full complement of information and services provided to the public by the KBA is available at www.knoxbar.org/legalhelp.

We know that members of the public rely on quality access to appropriate legal services.  The Knoxville Bar Association’s Lawyer Referral and Information Service (LRIS) can connect members of the public with a qualified attorney who is a member of the Knoxville Bar Association and can meet their legal needs with skill and care.  The Knoxville Bar Association’s Lawyer Referral and Information Service may be reached online at www.knoxbar.org/lawyerfinder or by telephone at (865) 522-7501.
