Referral partners for attorneys
Attorney referral network
Short answer
An attorney referral network has two directions: complementary non-legal professionals such as CPAs, realtors, title agents and financial advisors, and attorneys in other practice areas or jurisdictions who can take matters outside your scope.
RelayCircle lets attorneys publish practice areas, jurisdictions and referral criteria, and find partners by profession, city and state. There is no membership fee and no commission on referrals; any fee-sharing between lawyers remains subject to the applicable rules of professional conduct.

Legal matters usually sit next to a financial or transactional need:

Probate, divorce and business exits frequently require a property sale.

Title defects and closing mechanics require legal coordination.
Financial advisors
Estate plans and settlements need investment and distribution planning.
Insurance agents
Coverage questions arise in liability, estate and business matters.

Frequently asked questions
Is referral fee sharing allowed between attorneys?
That depends on your jurisdiction's rules of professional conduct. RelayCircle does not charge or facilitate referral fees; verify any arrangement against your bar rules.
Can I limit referrals to my practice area?
Yes. Your profile lists practice areas, markets and ideal client, and referral criteria are used when partners are suggested.
How do I refer a matter I cannot take?
