client Testimonials...
"LRA has saved my agency money and increased the efficiency of operations within the Bureau of Detention. We’ve eliminated the need for large law libraries or on-line subscriptions and it’s no longer necessary to have specially trained staff to research and answer requests for legal material. LRA's staff are professional and responsive and go the extra mile in customer service."

"We have been totally satisfied with the service provided by Legal Research Associates. It has really helped the Morgan County Detention Center personnel to make available and supply necessary legal information to our inmates. Your turn around time for requested information by the inmates has been within the promised time frame. We would highly recommend your service to other jails for providing legal research assistance to their inmates."

"We had problems making sure we provided the appropriate legal materials in our law library.
The costs for legal books and materials continued to increase. We looked at several different options. We went with LRA and have been extremely satisfied. They have provided outstanding service that is affordable and meets the legal requirements."
