  • When you need to find a lawyer or law office or paralegal do a reference check. Ask CanLaw about lawyer reviews and make sure a lawyer has a good reputation, no discipline history with any law society such as the LSO, and are in good standing.

 

  • Rate lawyer?  Ask a lawyer "near me" if they offer pro bono service, accept legal aid or provide legal advice in a free consultation before you retain or hire any lawyer.

 

  • But be reasonable. Lawyers have to pay their bills and deserve to be fairly paid for their work.
