Not sure what country you're in.. but in the US, most medium sized cities have "legal aid clinics" who can either help you directly or refer you to a local attorney specializing in your matter. The state bar association can do the same but they're more of a generic directory than a referral.

Yes, the state bar will generally refer you to a lawyer in good standing who is familiar with the practice area and is willing to do a 30 min to hour consultation for a flat rate.
