The MCBA is not responsible or liable for any damages that result in any way from errors, omissions, or any failure of performance of attorneys retained through the Lawyer Referral Service.

The Disciplinary Board of the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania has an excellent website for the general public to answer questions such as:

How does the disciplinary system work?

COMPLAINTS

The Mercer County Bar Association does not handle disciplinary matters or complaints about member attorneys.

Under the Constitution of Pennsylvania, the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania has exclusive jurisdiction to oversee the conduct of lawyers. The Supreme Court of Pennsylvania has created the Disciplinary Board of the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania and the Office of Disciplinary Counsel to assist it in carrying out this function. All complaints are received and investigated by the four regional offices of the Office of Disciplinary Counsel.

  The Mercer County Bar Association's Lawyer Referral Service is designed to assist people in locating lawyers for many types of legal matters. The LRS operates by referring potential clients to a member of the Lawyer Referral Service, who is also an attorney member of the Mercer County Bar Association.  For a referral, call 724-342-3111.


  The attorney you are referred to by the LRS  may charge a consultation fee and, if hired, his or her regular rates. There is no charge to you for the REFERRAL. 


The Lawyer Referral Service cannot answer legal questions, give legal advice or provide forms to file for any type of legal matter "pro se".

      The Mercer County Lawyer Referral Service  is not "Legal Aid"  If you live in Mercer County and cannot afford to hire an attorney, please contact:
