Can a Lawyer Do Free Work for a Third Party for Referrals to Him? 3rd Party Works for Drug Treatment Center.?

Question by Penny M: Can a lawyer do free work for a third party for referrals to him? 3rd party works for drug treatment center.?
Girl works for drug/alcohol treatment center, people ask for referrals for attorney, she refers one in particular and that attorney does pro bono work for her. Is this legal. It seems that there is a “captive audience” as these people in treatment need legal help.

Best answer:

Answer by Barry C
They are not obliged to hire him once referred, nor is he obligated to take their case.

Would you rather her say – I know you are in a weakened state right now and we are working on trust issues with you, but if you need legal help, all I can recommend is good luck to you!”?

Is that more helpful somehow?
