Legal Aid in Canada: The Complete Guide

Facing a legal case can be overwhelming. We often think that the legal system only serves the rich and our only available option is to represent ourselves in court as hiring private lawyers is too expensive. The government put legal aid programs to ensure that both sides are fairly and properly represented in court to level the playing field. The programs serve low-income people so that they are assisted and informed of their rights and options.  In Canada, legal aid is available in 13 provinces/territories to guarantee that Canadians are extended with legal help and are represented on both sides.
