Lawyer Referral and Information Service

The Lawyer Referral and Information Service is sponsored by the Hawai’i State Bar Association, and is a free service that provides names and contact information of attorneys who handle immigration-related cases. While the referral service is free, you will need to make your own fee arrangement with the lawyer.
