Information for Non-Lawyers

The Virginia Bar Association is a voluntary professional association for attorneys. Many people confuse the VBA with the mandatory bar in Virginia, the Virginia State Bar. If you have a complaint, would like a referral service, or would like information about licensing, please contact the Virginia State Bar. You should also look through our frequently asked questions.

If you are seeking a lawyer or legal advice, please note that The Virginia Bar Association does not offer lawyer referrals and we do not offer legal advice to callers. You may wish to contact the Virginia Lawyer Referral Service at 1-800-552-7977 or (804) 775-0808 (Richmond area).
