You may request an appointment by phone or by filling out the online Appointment Request form: https://lawyerreferralsantacruz.org/contact-form/

An administration fee of $50 for your 30-minute consultation supports our non-profit service. The fee is paid in cash at the time of your appointment. If you schedule a phone consultation, you will be asked for your credit card information at the time your appointment is scheduled.

Once you meet with your attorney and your 30-minute consultation is over, you and your attorney may agree that more time is needed for your case. If so, it is up to you and the attorney to discuss additional fees.

There is no administration fee for Workers' Compensation appointments.

We have a Fee Waiver Program offering a very limited number of fee waivers for Santa Cruz County residents who meet certain financial qualifications. This covers the initial $50 administration fee, but if additional help is needed, you will need to discuss fees with your LRS lawyer.

If you wish to request a fee waiver, we recommend that you call our office at 8:30 a.m. Monday morning. Fee waivers are granted on a first come, first served basis.
