This guide explains what to expect from your legal aid lawyer. It includes tips on how to work with them on your case. It is expected that you and your lawyer treat each other (and support staff) with respect, and without discrimination, harassment, or abusive language.
Also explains:
- what the lawyer will do,
- what the lawyer cannot do,
- what to do if your lawyer is not doing what you expect (includes information about change of counsel requests),
- how to make a complaint, and
- what your lawyer expects you to do.
The information we provide on this site explains the law in general and isn’t intended to be used as legal advice for specific legal problems. Because each person’s legal issue is different, it’s a good idea to talk to a lawyer. See Where can I get legal advice? to find legal services.
