Summary Legal Advice
If you have a criminal or family law issue, you may be able to get summary legal advice from a lawyer for up to 20 minutes. This service is provided over the phone – you do not meet the lawyer in person.
To find out if you are eligible for summary legal advice, call Legal Aid Ontario toll-free at 1-800-668-8258. A client service representative will ask you questions about your legal issue, and determine if you are eligible for summary legal advice.
Please remember that you must qualify financially to receive summary legal advice.
