Legal Assistance
To find a lawyer: You may be eligible for a free lawyer, depending on your income and situation. Ask your social worker if possible or call the Legal Aid offices 514-864-2111.
If you are not eligible for legal aid and would like help finding a lawyer, the Barreau de Montréal’s Referral Service provides anyone who requests it and is able to pay (or eligible for legal aid) with the name of a lawyer voluntarily registered with the service and willing to offer an initial one-hour consultation for $60 plus taxes, if applicable. This service is provided by lawyers who are members of the Barreau de Montréal chapter and have experience in all areas of law. If the problem requires additional legal services and you agree to pursue the matter, you will have to agree personally with the lawyer concerning the mandate and the fees to be paid, if it is not a legal aid mandate:
