Help a family through divorce. Earn $1,000 — or gift it to them
Introduce someone to Brown Family Law who needs a divorce in Arizona. If they hire us, you choose:
-
- Receive $1000 — paid to you within 7 days, or
- Gift them $1000 — subtracted from their overall bill
Don’t worry, if you can’t get paid directly because of professional ethics, we’ll automatically gift it to the person you refer.
How It Works
- Make a 3-way intro using the referral form below.
- We ensure we can help the person that you refer. If we can help, we receive our consultation fee, schedule a consultation, and handle everything discreetly.
- Note: We charge all potential clients a $400 consultation fee. That fee is applied to a client’s retainer when they hire us.
- If they meet our qualifications and hire us, you choose (1) to receive $1000, or (2) to gift the $1000 to the person you refer.
Who Qualifies
- Arizona divorce cases (priority: with children, home, and meaningful assets)
- New clients only — conflict checks and right fit analysis apply
- No previous attorneys on the case
- W-9 required (if you choose to receive the $1000) — we’ll provide you one to fill out
Payout Details
- Amount: $1000 per qualified hire (unlimited referrals)
- Timing
- To you — non-client: Within 7 days of qualified hire and receipt of a completed W-9 (only required on first referral), by one of the following:
- ACH
- Zelle
- Check
- To you — current client: Credit applied to your monthly invoices until full $1000 credited
- To person you refer: Credit applied to referred’s monthly invoices until full $1000 credited
- To you — non-client: Within 7 days of qualified hire and receipt of a completed W-9 (only required on first referral), by one of the following:
- Tax
- Non-client: Full contact info and W-9 required for each referrer before receiving first referral bonus. Since the referral bonus is over $600, we will send you a 1099-MISC. Refer is responsible for all taxes.
- Current client: No W-9 required because you are receiving a discount on your bill, which is not income.
Frequently Asked Questions
Anyone. Non-attorneys, attorneys, paralegals. Those who live in Arizona and those who live outside Arizona. Anyone.
No. You may refer as many people as you want. Each qualified hire entitles you to receive or gift $1000.
Yes, if their ethical rules allow it.
We will automatically gift the $1000 to the person you referred. Please, tell us if your ethics rules do not allow you to receive the referral bonus personally.
Yes, the Arizona Rules of Professional Conduct allow Brown Family Law to pay a referral bonus to attorneys and non-attorneys. We pay referral bonuses because we highly value the trust referrals demonstrate, and because, in our experience, referred clients are our best clients.
You will receive $1000 off of your overall Brown Family Law bill. We do this by crediting your monthly invoices by $250 until the $1000 is fully credited.
Let us know and we will gift the $1000 to the person you referred.
Our team has created an advanced internal tracking system that tags all referred cases so we can shepherd them through the intake, qualification, and payout process.
Yes, unless there is some extraordinary circumstance involving confidentiality that precludes us from informing you.
No. Because of our attorney confidentiality rules, if someone does not hire us, we do not have authorization to communicate that information.
No. The work we do for our clients is confidential. We do not give updates to third-parties about what happens in a client’s case.
Arizona divorce (preferably including children, real property, and retirement assets); new clients only — conflict checks and right fit analysis apply; no previous attorneys on the case; W-9 required (if you choose to receive the $1000)
No. Discounts on invoices are not considered income for tax purposes.
Yes. The $1000 will be paid to you personally, and it is considered income. You are responsible for paying all taxes on that income. You will need to fill out a W-9 tax form (we will provide you one) before you receive your referral bonus. Brown Family Law will send you a 1099-MISC so you know exactly how much we have paid you in a given year.
I see what you’re trying to do, and I like it, but no. You have one of four options to receive payment: ACH, Zelle, check, applied credit (current clients only).
You must follow Arizona Rules of Professional Conduct ER 7.1 and ER 7.3 which can be found here: https://www.azbar.org/for-legal-professionals/ethics/rules-of-professional-conduct/
Yes. We reserve the privilege to choose our clients. Sometimes there are conflicts. Sometimes, there are case types we simply do not handle. Sometimes, people ask us to do things that are contrary to our ethics. Ultimately, we want to ensure we are the best law firm to help individuals, and if we determine another firm can help someone better than we can, we will decline representation and give them a referral to another law firm we believe will serve them better.
