Which organization provides lawyer referrals for civil matters?

• A. Clerk of the General District Court
• B. Mediation Services
• C. Bar Association Lawyer Referral Services
• D. Public Defender's Office

Answer: (C)

Bar Association Lawyer Referral Services are designed to connect people with attorneys for civil matters. They’re usually run by local or state bar associations and maintain lists of lawyers who practice in various civil areas, often offering an initial, low-cost consultation to help you understand your options. This makes them the best source for finding counsel for civil issues like contracts, property disputes, or family-law civil matters. The Clerk of the General District Court handles court filings and case processing, not referrals; Mediation Services focus on resolving disputes through mediation and don’t primarily provide attorney referrals; the Public Defender's Office handles criminal defense, not civil matters.
