Of course, these referrals only represent those that we were aware of (because they were coordinated through LFS staff or clients told us about them). Every month there are dozens of other referrals that take place without our direct involvement or knowledge. Want your efforts recognized? Just let us know when you’ve referred a case to another LFS client!

- Real Estate attorney, Jonathan Geballe, assisted Personal Injury attorney, Duane Morgan with finding a particular co-op sale form.
