Bar Association of Erie County Review

I called for a referral from Texas and they called and gave me 2 excellent attorney's names! I spoke to Attorney Chris Smith, he was very honest and knowledgeable in his field! I will highly recommend Bar Association of Erie County for all legal matters referrals!

Initially I was given a good referral.I live in California and needed an estate lawyer to handle my mother s estate. Unfortunately I had to find a second attorney and that referral was a waste, in fact in trying to retain one of the lawyers they referred, I was strung along for months. When I had finally had enough of him, I went back for another referral and was told that they had given all the referrals they could give and were not responsible for the referral. While I understand the limit to referrals, I do not understand how they could refer such a poor unprofessional lawyer like the one I got. Be warned, even after being referred research the referral, I didn t and it cost me financially. You would think you can trust a Bar Association but don t.

I called today to try to get an attorney to help with a social security disability claim. One contacted me within the hour. That woman I spoke to at the Bar Association was helpful and sweet. Thank you so much!!

I left my name and number as directed and understood that someone would contact me to make referrals after hearing an outline of my legal matter. After a week of no response, I think one would better spend their time calling around various law firms rather than wait on these people.

They made several referrals but none of them followed through with my request for help with my legal matter! Very unprofessional organization and also does not return phone calls nor does it help you with any legal issues ! I don't know how the legal system works in the state of New York but from my experience they don't! They must pick and choose which cases they want to handle based on the least amount of effort on their part with the most amount of money they can line their pockets with!!! Don't waste your time with the Erie county bar or it's lawyer referrals! You would be better off representing yourself at least you would get something accomplished!!!!
