While not every state allows for its attorneys to make and receive referrals where the referring attorney receives a portion of the fee earned (that last part is the critical part), Massachusetts does.

This week, I am doing a little pinch-hitting. Erik Mazzone, the erstwhile (yes, I know that I overuse, and probably incorrectly apply, “erstwhile”) Director of the North Carolina Bar Association’s Center for Practice Management, had intended to post on the above-referenced topic, but is in the midst of a family emergency, and is not able […]
