Use ordinary language

Canadian Law Directory is designed to connect your wording with public lawyer and law-firm information. A result is a discovery signal based on available information; it is not an endorsement, legal opinion or guarantee that a lawyer will accept the matter.

Before retaining counsel

Useful questions to ask

Not sure where to begin?

Start with Canada Lawyer Search and describe the legal problem in your own words.

Then confirm jurisdiction, lawyer status, conflicts, fees, availability and whether the lawyer actually handles the type of matter you have.

Canadian Law Directory is an information and discovery directory, not a law firm or referral service. Search position is not a rating or endorsement. Information may be incomplete or out of date. Confirm lawyer status, jurisdiction, conflicts, services, fees, availability and suitability directly with the lawyer or law firm. Nothing on these pages is legal advice. If a legal deadline may apply, seek qualified legal advice promptly.
