Chicago Bar Association — Local services in Chicago

Just tried (August 3,2022 @ 11:41am) to call for a lawyer referral and even after explaining I’m autistic, have ptsd, etc, please have patience with me I’m not trying to waste you time, the woman yelled at me and I asked her to not yell at me and she yelled at me again to just answer the question when I was seconds away from telling her because she had already asked about who is it against and I have three different organizations to tell her about. I just hung up, why bother when the people giving referrals don’t even have respect for people who are neurodivergent and struggle with mental health. Whoever you were, please learn some patience. You should know better and learn to respect everyone who is calling in...

I told her what kind of lawyer I was looking for what kind of case it was. she demanded I tell her something I did not know the answers too or she wouldn’t give me a lawyer. She told me she’s knows more than me cause she’s been working there a long time. This is no way you treat someone who is just trying to get help. As a person whose never gone though anything like this before I would never recommend this place unless they had someone else...
