Legal aid is Quebec’s system that allows individuals with low income to access a lawyer free of charge or at a reduced cost. Eligibility is assessed based on income, assets, and financial resources. Youth protection (DPJ) and mental health cases are generally covered. Except in emergencies, starting the legal aid process before contacting private practice lawyers is recommended.
