The New York State Bar Association has a private lawyer referral service called the Lawyer Referral and Information Service. Lawyers who agree to participate will give you a first consultation of up to one-half an hour for a $35 fee.  Attorneys will give FREE consultations for personal injury matters, as well as medical malpractice, social security, unemployment and workers' compensation issues. This is just a first meeting, but it may help you figure out what to do next. (Lawyer Referral and Information Service - link)
