CLG’s Summary Advice clinics offer free legal advice, information and guidance, to anyone who cannot afford paid legal services and does not qualify for Legal Aid Alberta.
During a 45-minute appointment you will receive advice from a volunteer lawyer to help you understand your rights and responsibilities under the law, your legal options for addressing your legal issue, and what to do next. Volunteer lawyers can support with different legal issues, including but not limited to tenancy, criminal, family, and immigration.
“I finally found someone who could help me, and would listen.”
