What are the benefits of the LRS?
The LRS will help you find a lawyer who practises in the area of law that meets your needs. The service can also help you find a lawyer who meets specific requirements such as speaking a certain language or accepting Legal Aid certificates. Lawyers participating in the Service will offer you up to a half-hour free consultation. This consultation may be over the phone, or in person (the choice is up to the lawyer). During this time, you can ask: • How the law applies to your situation • How to use the law to solve your legal problem • How long the legal work may take • How much the lawyer will charge After the consultation, you can decide if you want to hire the lawyer to work for you.
