Lawyers are permitted to give each other a fee for referring a client. Many people will call the lawyer that did their real estate closing for a criminal or personal injury matter. Or they might call their family lawyer because they were just served with a lawsuit.

Referral fees encourage the lawyer to provide you with the contact details of another lawyer that might be more suitable to assist you.

If you end up retaining the lawyer that was referred, he or she can provide a lawyers referral fee. This is a great way for lawyers to network and to ensure that all clients end up finding someone that works well for them.
