The Attorney Referral Program is a service provided to NEA members (active, life, educational support, and retired and their spouses and dependent children) who need the services of an attorney on personal legal matters (not employment related).
Participating attorneys provide each member with two free 30 minute consultation sessions each year (September 1 through August 31). These two free consultations are taken separately and deal with two different questions.
This benefit allows you to discuss your problem with the attorney to determine whether you need additional legal services. Don't expect the attorney to draft or review documents during a consultation. It is important to discuss any fee arrangements at your initial meeting.
If your problem falls within any of the areas listed below, the attorneys fees are discounted 30 percent:
Real estate matters
Wills and estates
Domestic relations
Consumer protection
Traffic violations (including DUI citations)
You may discuss almost any subject during one of your 30 minute conferences, although certain matters are excluded:
Members business dealings
Preparation of income tax returns
Bankruptcies
Defense of criminal violations (other than traffic)
