Questions before you start
Is requesting a lawyer free?
There is no charge to submit a request through LegalFinder. Any legal fees are discussed directly with a lawyer before you decide whether to retain them.
What should I include in my request?
Choose your province and legal area, then give a short description and any relevant timing. Share only an overview at this stage; you do not need to upload documents.
How can I check a lawyer’s status in Alberta?
You can use the provincial law society’s directory to check a lawyer’s registration information.
Does submitting a request mean I have a lawyer?
No. A request is an inquiry, not a retainer. You and a lawyer decide together whether to work together and on what terms.
