Lawyer Assistance Program

Note: The Lawyers Assistance Program is a service offered to bar members and law students and is not available to the general public. It is also not a Lawyer Referral Service. For help in finding an attorney please contact your local bar association.

The Lawyer Assistance Program (LAP) is a confidential service provided by the State Bar to help its members with life's difficulties. In order to help meet the needs of its members and ensure confidentiality, The Bar contracts the services of Families First Employee Assistance Program, a Georgia based counseling agency for over 100 years.

The Georgia LAP provides a broad range of helping services to members seeking assistance with stress, family problems, work-place conflicts, alcohol/drug abuse, psychological issues, legal problems, or financial issues. You can contact the LAP by calling 800-327-9631, or by e-mailing them directly at: steve.brown@familiesfirst.org or sandra@familiesfirst.org
