The Milwaukee Bar Association (“MBA”) offers a conducive referral service to help individuals who
are seeking legal representation. The best part? It’s free! Attorneys in Milwaukee and throughout southeastern
Wisconsin opt into receiving these referrals and they enjoy the steady flow of potential clients. Before they may
join, they must be in good standing with the MBA, currently have malpractice insurance, and specialize in one
or more areas the agency accepts. This ensures each lawyer is vetted and will uphold the standards the MBA
requires for each member they have in their referral database.

The MBA also has lawyers on hand who specialize in felony criminal cases and criminal appeals, but the
requirements to join are slightly different. The attorneys who would like referrals for criminal cases must
submit to the association to demonstrate they have handled cases previously and show promise to deliver.
When individuals call the MBA to find representation, many have questions and do not necessarily need
the representation requested. In that case, they are referred to local nonprofits who are skilled in either finding
resources to help or answering the questions themselves. These nonprofits can help give callers an idea of what
kind of case they may have, any potential outcomes, and if litigation is necessary.

The MBA will typically get back to an individual within 12 business days, and they average over 2,500
lawyer referrals per year! At OVB Law & Consulting, S.C., we thoroughly believe in this service and have seen
firsthand how it benefits our community since it is a free service dedicated to connecting potential clients with
amazing lawyers in our Milwaukee Community.
