Join our Attorney Referral Service
How It Works

Whistleblowers locate the Attorney Referral Service through government agencies (including the EEOC, FBI, and the Department of Labor). Other referrals come from our national press and media coverage, corporate employee assistance programs, labor unions, public interest groups, and from our website.

We receive numerous contacts daily. Each whistleblower is directed to fill out a confidential intake form. We forward the potential client’s confidential intake form to your office, in order to help facilitate your decision as to whether to take a case.

There are no referral fees. The decision to take a case, as well as your fee agreement, rests strictly between you and the potential client. The ARS does not make endorsements of any kind. Our selection of an attorney for a referral is based primarily on geographic criteria. If you have a specific area of expertise and are willing to obtain referrals from other jurisdictions, please advise us.

All referrals are provided to potential clients free of charge. The ARS is operated by the National Whistleblower Legal Defense & Education Fund.
