History The Philadelphia Bar Association's Lawyer Referral and Information Service (LRIS) is one of the oldest referral services in the United States. Since its inception, LRIS has provided referrals and direction to over one million people in the Philadelphia area. LRIS meets American Bar Association standards for lawyer referral services. More than 300 attorneys accept referrals through LRIS. LRIS panel attorneys are located throughout the Philadelphia region and many of them are multilingual. LRIS continues the Philadelphia Bar Association's 200-year-old tradition of service to the community and the profession. Founded in 1948, LRIS has operated for over half a century as a resource for all Philadelphia area residents who can afford to pay for an attorney and are looking for one to help them with their legal needs. Formerly a walk-in service, in the mid 1980's LRIS was restructured to become a primarily telephone referral service. This web site lets you, the consumer obtain your own referral whenever convenient, day or night. LRIS is proud to be part of the Philadelphia Bar Association, the oldest chartered metropolitan bar association in the United States.
