Timely payment of your 2022 membership dues is a requirement for continuation of your referral listing.

I understand that the categories that have been circled are in areas in which I practice.  I and/or my law firm will actually handle the matter, including any trial that may be required, and will not refer the matter outside of my law firm.  If it becomes necessary, for reasons not anticipated at the time of acceptance of the matter, that neither I nor my law firm can handle the matter, I will so notify the Orange County Bar Association promptly in writing of the reasons thereof.

 I understand that if I do not have an office in Orange County I must be willing to meet the potential client in an office in Orange County.

If, during that time I am listed as a referral attorney I am the subject of disciplinary action, or am convicted of any misdemeanor or felony, I will promptly notify the Orange County Bar Association of such action, and provide a copy of any such disposition.

I understand that it is a condition of participation in the Lawyer Referral Service that I maintain an Errors & Omissions (Malpractice) Policy issued by an insurance company licensed and authorized by the State of N.Y. to issue such policies in the minimum amount of $250,000 at all times that I represent clients referred by the Lawyer Referral Service.  Proof of such insurance is hereby submitted.

I, the undersigned hereby apply for registration with the Lawyer Referral Service of the Orange County Bar Association.  I recognize that the service is a means and opportunity for the legal profession to render better service to the public.  I certify that I maintain Errors & Omissions (Malpractice) Policy limits of at least $250,000 as described as above.  I have provided proof of the evidence of such policy and I will maintain such coverage, or equivalent coverage, at all times that I am representing clients referred by the Lawyer Referral Service.  I will provide proof of renewal to the Orange County Bar Association as long as I remain of the referral list.

I duly affirm, under penalty of perjury, to the truth of the statements and representations I have made in this application:
