P1200 A contract making a person the agent of another in connection with pending litigation and calling for the agent to retain counsel on behalf of the principle requires the agent to act as an attorney referral service, and unless that person qualifies as such, is illegal and unenforceable; but this does not prevent the agent from recovering in quantum meruit for the reasonable value of any lawful services rendered.CitationHYON v SELTEN (Attorney Referral) 152 CA4 463 [See: B&PC 6155; Huskinson & Brown v Wolf 32 C4 453, P/AT 3/04]
