The State Bar of Georgia does not operate an LRS; as a mandatory bar it says it 'cannot refer an attorney'. It points to its list of Local and Voluntary Bars (https://www.gabar.org/bar-communities/local-and-voluntary-bars), many of which run referral services. The Bar also posts a PDF of referral services it has determined meet Bar Rule 7.3(c)(2), such as the Atlanta Bar Association LRIS, but the entries in that PDF show expiration dates of December 31, 2025, so it looks out of date.
