THE PRINCIPAL PURPOSE OF THE TRS PROGRAM IS TO INTRODUCE INDIVIDUALS TO THE USE OF THE REPRESENTATIVE PROFESSION IN THE HOPE THAT THEY WILL ENTER INTO REPRESENTATIVE-CLIENT RELATIONSHIPS ON A CONTINGENT FEE BASIS AS A RESULT OF THE REFERRAL SERVICE. TO ACHIEVE THIS PURPOSE, MEMBERS PAY ONLY A FEE FOR A YEARLY SUBSCRIPTION OF REFERRALS. THE PROGRAM ENCOURAGES PEOPLE UNFAMILIAR WITH REPRESENTATIVES TO FORM THE HABIT OF SEEKING PROFESSIONAL HELP, PROVIDES DISABLED PERSONS AN OPPORTUNITY TO PRESENT THEIR LEGAL PROBLEMS TO A REPUTABLE REPRESENTATIVE FOR A CONTINGENT FEE, AND COMBATS THE NOTION THAT ONLY CERTAIN PERSONS CAN AFFORD LEGAL ASSISTANCE.
