Other legal help

Legal Aid Ontario (LAO)

To get help from LAO, your legal problem must be one that LAO covers, and you must be financially eligible.

In addition to funding community legal clinics, some other services that LAO provides includes:

  • A toll-free call centre that gives general legal information and advice, as well as information about other social service providers, in over 200 languages
  • Help from courthouse lawyers (called duty counsel) for people who are in court without a lawyer
  • Certificates (vouchers to pay for a lawyer to represent you) for people who need a lawyer for some criminal, family, and immigration and refugee law problems
  • Certificates for people who have experienced domestic violence
