Lehigh and Northampton County Bar Associations

Both bar associations have lawyer referral programs. By calling the bar association, a person will get connected with a lawyer who specializes in what they need for a 30 minute consultation. The cost is $20 or $25. There is no obligation to hire that lawyer. For many people, getting information on the application of law to their situation lessens many fears and provides direction.
