Attorney Referrals

Attorney referral fees are paid consistent to:

New Jersey: (1) paying attorney referral fees to an attorney that is not certified as a specialist by the New Jersey Supreme Court is unethical and a crime under NJSA 2C:21-22.1; and (2) even referrals without pecuniary benefit subject the referring attorney to third-party malpractice claims, unless the attorney receiving the referral is certified as a specialist in the relevant field by the Supreme Court of New Jersey. [Tormo v. Yormark, 398 F.Supp. 1159 (DNJ 1975); R. 1:39-6.]
