Lawyer Referral Service (LRS)

Assists the general public in finding an appropriate lawyer for their particular situation. Callers can access lawyers who offer a free fifteen minute consultation to decide whether the issue is worth pursuing legally. The consultation may or may not include legal advice at the lawyer's own discretion. If the lawyer is hired, standard rates apply thereafter. There is no obligation for the lawyer to accept the applicant's case or for the applicant to retain the lawyer. To receive a referral, individuals should call during office hours; for family, employment, residential tenancy, will and estates, and personal injury issues only, individuals can book a consultation online at https://www.accessprobono.ca/our-programs/lawyer-referral-service. Hours are 8:30 am to 4:30 pm Monday to Friday. Funded by the Law Foundation of BC.
