For the Public

A tradition of service for businesses and the community

"It has been said among jurists and practitioners prior to the division of Philadelphia County in 1784 that Montgomery County furnished the State and Nation with some of the most distinguished lawyers known to the country"*.  
Today, The Montgomery Bar Association continues this tradition as a non-profit organization made up of nearly 2,000 Montgomery County attorneys.  The MBA serves as an invaluable legal resource for businesees and the community, offering education, assistance, and participation in important community events.  Please take a moment to get to know us and discover what we have to offer.

Lawyer Referral Service

Attorneys participating in the Lawyer Referral Service are required to be private practice members of the Montgomery Bar Association in good standing.  They are registered with the Lawyer Referral Service on a voluntary basis in the areas of law they practice and specialize in.  Referrals are systematically made on a rotating basis within predetermined areas of practice.  Geographic considerations are also taken into account as we strive to make referrals that best serve the criteria of our users.

The Montgomery Child Advocacy Project (MCAP)

This is a newly formed 501(c)(3) organization established to protect the rights to those least able to protect themselves .....children.  MCAP arranges for the appointment of volunteer attorneys who render free legal services to young victims of abuse and neglect.  MCAP hopes to broaden its scope and give children the support and therapeutic services they therapeutic services needed, which are not provided by their parents, who are often the source of the abuse.
