The referral program offers a 30-minute consultation/case assessment with a private attorney for a cost of only $30. A intake person will ask for information needed to determine the area of law and county needed for the referral. A paralegal will then contact attorneys and find one to consult with you for 30-minutes. During the 30-minute consultation, you will receive legal advice, have documents reviewed and have questions answered by an attorney. Any representation or time beyond the 30-minute consultation/case assessment must be negotiated with the attorney. You may call the Referral Program for a referral or you can fill out the Intake Form online and email it to mkelley@nmbar.org. Payment must be received before referrals are processed. You may pay for the referral online or send check or money order to: State Bar of New Mexico Referral Program, PO Box 92860, Albuquerque, NM 87199.
