State Bar-certified San Diego lawyer referral service with bilingual staff and an initial consultation, followed by separately agreed representation.
About Lawyer Referral and Information Service — San Diego County Bar Association
The San Diego County Bar Association's Lawyer Referral and Information Service is a route for identifying a lawyer, rather than a law firm that takes every inquiry as a case. The State Bar of California's regional directory lists the service, and its own website explains that staff assess the legal need and refer the caller to a participating attorney or an appropriate community resource.
The referral line is 619-231-8585, with toll-free access at 800-464-1529, Monday–Friday from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. The website offers an online request and says its staff are bilingual. Ask about the available language and the correct practice area when requesting immigration help, and bring the actual notices or deadlines to the consultation.
The program describes an initial consultation of up to 30 minutes without charge, subject to the attorney's evaluation of the matter and conflicts. That is not free ongoing representation: the site explicitly says the service is not pro bono, and subsequent legal work is agreed at the attorney's normal rate. There is no promise that a lawyer will accept the case or that the client will accept the price.
Its Google observation belongs to the parent association at 330 A Street, not a separate immigration lawyer or an immigration-only referral score. Treat certification as confirmation of the referral route and verify the individual lawyer independently before retaining them. The association's logo and social accounts recorded here are likewise parent-organization identities.
Google review excerpts: The three visible Google reviews of the parent association are critical of telephone interactions, referrals or concerns about lawyers. None establishes an immigration-specific service result; these are individual reports, not verified findings.
