LRIS attorney qualifications
When you contact the LRIS, we will listen to your needs and concerns to help match you to the right lawyer for your case. All of our LRIS panel attorneys undergo an extensive screening process to ensure that they meet the following qualifications:
- Possesses the continuing education requirement
- Meets the minimum experience requirement

What does it cost?
