What Are Legal Aid Certificates?

Legal Aid Certificates in Ontario are vouchers that allow people who have financial difficulties to retain a lawyer for their legal defence. Typically, a legal aid certificate allows a lawyer to work on a case for a certain number of hours. Our expert legal team is efficient and effective in representing clients within the allotted time of legal aid.

How Do I Get Legal Aid?
