The Massachusetts Bar Association’s Lawyer Referral Service has started a new website to provide basic answers to common legal questions and connect people who need legal help to an attorney. The website, www.MassLawHelp.com , provides answers to questions in the areas of family law, labor and unemployment, estate planning, real estate, consumer protection, personal injury, criminal law, personal finance, business, government benefits and immigration. The site can also help users looking for a lawyer to contact the referral service to find an attorney with appropriate experience. The referral service, a public service of the Massachusetts Bar Association, has linked more than 500,000 people with attorneys since it was created nearly 40 years ago.
