What to expect when you call for legal advice:

  • An intake worker will take down your contact information and brief details about your situation and let you know when to expect a call back from a lawyer.
  • The intake worker will also ask you some additional questions for research purposes – your response does not impact the services provided to you and we would not share any information that would identify you. You do not have to answer these questions.
  • JFCY lawyers provide up to 30 minutes free summary legal advice over the phone.
  • Additional brief services and legal representation may be available for those who meet our eligibility guidelines. We are part of Legal Aid Ontario’s poverty law clinics.
  • JFCY does not provide services for civil lawsuits; and generally not on family law matters (the OCL provides family law services).
