RULE III. THE SERVICE

    The Service will be operated from The Florida Bar Center in Tallahassee, utilizing members of the staff and under the general supervision of the Lawyer Referral Service Committee. A person seeking a lawyer will use a toll-free line maintained at The Florida Bar to be interviewed by a staff member, and a referral will be made to a panel member of the Service on a rotating basis upon the agreement of such person to pay an initial fee of $25, provided the initial consultation does not exceed one-half hour.

    The Service shall not make referrals in any geographic area of the state where a local bar association lawyer referral service exists. In such cases, referrals will be made directly to the existing local bar association referral service.
