Civil litigator Darryl Singer writes: “While the LSUC spent considerable time getting all knotted up over the allowable referral fees, the recommendations said nothing about what would be done to clamp down on the under-the-table referral arrangements that go on all the time: real estate lawyers who pay finders’ fees to real estate agents; and personal injury lawyers who pay doctors, emergency room nurses and tow truck drivers hefty cash fees in the range of $2,000 to $4,000 per referral.”
