I have received referral fees from Lexolution, Update, Special Counsel and Staffwise. I was not employed by any of them at the time I received the checks. Nor did I have to chase any of them — all arrived without any request from me (in a couple of cases I didn’t even know I was entitled to them) EXCEPT for Special Counsel….that one required numerous phone calls, emails, etc.

I received a referral fee in law school from Hire Counsel for referring a nurse paralegal from my section who hadn’t got a summer clerkship. It was great for a 1L doing temp work! I was just helping out a friend. AND they did remind me a couple of times that I had my check waiting at the office.

I was fortunate to receive referral fees from the following agencies:

Update Legal
Lexolution
Ajilon/Staffwise
Legal Placements

I made over $500 bucks w/ just referral fees, so it helps to refer people.

The blogger is right – you have to ask them for it, and follow up too, otherwise they won’t voluntarily remind you

Hudson totally screwed me out of referral fee because I was not staffed with them at the time. What a joke! I will never refer anyone to that agency again.
