Legal aid in Ontario, Canada

Legal aid in Ontario is administered by Legal Aid Ontario (LAO). The LAO provides funding to more than one million Ontario residents who need help with their legal problems. Legal Aid is available to low income individuals and disadvantaged communities for a variety of legal problems, including criminal matters, family disputes, immigration and refugee hearings and poverty law issues such as basic employment rights, worker's compensation, landlord/tenant disputes, disability support and family benefits payments.
