Legal Aid Ontario

Legal Aid Ontario (LAO) is a government organization that provides legal assistance to individuals in Ontario who cannot afford a lawyer. It aims to ensure access to justice by offering services such as legal advice, representation in court, and information about the legal system. LAO covers various legal issues, including criminal, family, and immigration matters. Eligibility for aid typically depends on financial circumstances and the nature of the legal issue. By supporting those in need, LAO helps promote fairness and equality within the legal system.
