Lawyer Referral Service
Many local bar associations in Florida sponsor lawyer referral services, listed under ‘attorney’ or ‘attorney referral services’ in the yellow pages of the telephone book. These services can set up an initial appointment for you with a lawyer for a nominal fee (local Bar-sponsored program charges between $25 to $50).
If there is no lawyer referral service in your city, The Florida Bar’s statewide Lawyer Referral Service can locate a lawyer for you. You can call this service toll-free at (800) 342-8011.
Help for homeowners
Free housing counseling is available from www.hud.gov and NeighborhoodWorks America for people facing foreclosure.
More information is available at floridalawhelp.org.
If you have been served papers, contact your local legal office immediately. The Florida Bar Lawyer Referral Service offers referrals to attorneys for low-fee consultations.
