Register. A lawyer who is licensed to practice law and in good standing in at least one jurisdiction submits the short online LawRex application. Once LawRex verifies that the applicant is in fact a licensed attorney and in good standing, the lawyer is granted access to the network and is given 100 LawRex points. |

List Referrals. A participating lawyer (or member of the lawyer's staff) who becomes aware of a case that the lawyer believes has merit (but which the lawyer is unable to take on due to lack of competence in the area or time to handle the matter, or decides not to accept the case for other reasons) gathers a few details about the potential client and the case, and asks if the potential client would like to discuss the case with another lawyer who might be better able to handle the case. The participating lawyer (or member of the lawyer's staff) takes a few seconds to enter the referral information into the LawRex network and selects the number of days the referral is going to be available on the LawRex Network. |
|
 |
View Referrals. Lawyers who signed up for the particular legal category and jurisdiction of the referral will be notified via email and encouraged to visit the LawRex website to express their interest in the referral. The only details available at this point are the legal category, the short written description of the referral, and statistical rating information about the referring lawyer's prior LawRex referrals. Lawyers may ask the referring lawyer questions about the referral via the LawRex network while the referral period is open, before expressing an interest in the referral. |
|
 |
Receive Referrals. Once the referral time limit expires, the lawyer who used the greatest number of LawRex points to express an interest in the referral will be provided with the referring lawyer's name and contact information (or the lawyer's assistant's name and contact information) (and if the referring lawyer so chooses, further details about the referral) via the LawRex Network. If necessary, the high bidder can then contact the referring lawyer to learn more about the referral. |
|
 |
Earn Points. The points used by the lawyer who receives the referral will automatically be moved over to the referring lawyer's LawRex account. The referring lawyer will then be able to use these points to express his or her interest in referrals listed by other LawRex attorneys. Unused points will remain in the lawyers account for as long as the account is active; however, LawRex points are non-assignable and non-transferable outside of the LawRex network and they are owned by LawRex at all times. We think about LawRex points as the grease inside the engine that make the parts move. |
|
 |
Rate The Referral. The lawyer who was awarded the referral will have a period of time to rate the quality of the referral (not the referrer). If a rating is submitted, that information will be aggregated and included with the details of any future referrals made by the referring lawyer. The referring lawyer can provide a one-sentence response to any negative referral rating. |

It is that simple! The more referrals you place on the LawRex Network, the faster your points will accumulate. The more points you have, the greater the chances that you will get other referrals in the future. You can sign up for a FREE LawRex account by visiting our
