Find a Lawyer

Tips for your search ▼

The Find a Lawyer tool is meant to help you find lawyers to contact who may be able to provide support for your legal case. This tool provides a list of lawyers who accept legal aid certificates. However, that does not mean that they are available or willing to take your case. You will have to follow up with them to determine if they are right for you and if they will agree to represent you.

Here are step-by-step instructions to use the tool.

If you have difficulties in finding a lawyer using this directory, please contact the Client Service Centre at 416-979-1446 or toll-free 1-800-668-8258 .
