In conjunction with the ISBA's strategic marketing campaign, the hours of the telephone referral service have been expanded.

Beginning this month, the Illinois Lawyer Finder phone will be answered from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., Monday through Friday, offering an additional two hours of service.

It is anticipated that the advertising campaign will generate additional traffic, both to the phone referral service and to the online service at illinoislawyerfinder.com.

Members of the public seeking the services of Illinois lawyers can find listings at the online service (free to ISBA members), or may call the toll-free number, (800) 922-8757, to receive a referral.

Phone referrals go to ISBA members who subscribe to the service and who agree to offer initial 30-minute consultations for not more than $15.
