More Info:
When you call, an LABC staff member will ask you questions to determine your eligibility for our services. Please have all of your financial and court information handy when you phone. You’ll need to provide proof of your income and assets in some, but not all, situations.
If you’re a parent with a low income and going through a separation or divorce, you may be eligible for up to three hours of free legal advice from a family advice lawyer. You may be able to get help even if you don’t qualify for a legal aid lawyer.
f you have to call long distance to reach a legal aid location, you can phone Service BC and ask them to put your call through for free.
