Legal Aid Eligibility

Legal Aid Ontario is committed to promoting equal access to justice by providing quality legal services to individuals who may not otherwise be able to afford representation. Through its certificate and duty counsel programs, Legal Aid Ontario assists clients who meet specific financial and case-related eligibility requirements.

At Bekwyn Law, we accept Legal Aid Ontario certificates and are proud to serve clients who qualify for this vital support. If your circumstances fall within the approved income and asset thresholds, you may be entitled to legal assistance in a variety of areas, including immigration and refugee law, family law, criminal defense, and certain civil matters.

Clients who qualify may receive comprehensive support—from initial legal advice to full representation in court or before administrative tribunals. Legal Aid Ontario also offers summary advice, mediation, and referrals to community legal clinics for additional resources.

To determine your eligibility, you can apply directly through the Legal Aid Ontario website, by phone, or in person at any local office. Understanding the process early ensures you receive timely assistance and the legal guidance you need to protect your rights and interests.
