Legal aid services
LSS has a range of free services that may help you. We give priority to people with low incomes, but many services are available to all British Columbians. We offer:
- Information provided by our publications, the Family Law in BC website, intake assistants, and, in some communities, legal information outreach workers and Aboriginal community legal workers.
- Advice from duty counsel lawyers or family advice lawyers.
- Representation (a lawyer to take your case) if you qualify and have serious family, child protection, or criminal law issues (and for some immigration, mental health, and prison law issues).
You can apply for legal aid by phone or in person.
