OSBA does not run its own referral service; its page states all lawyer referral information services must be registered with the Supreme Court of Ohio and lists the registered local bar-association services by county (Cleveland, Columbus, Cincinnati, Toledo, Akron, Dayton, etc.), plus the statewide Pro Seniors hotline for people over 60. OSBA also has an online attorney directory.
