Services Map is an interactive guide to key legal and social services in Ontario. We will be adding more information to the various sections of our Services Map in the coming weeks.
There are community legal clinics across Ontario that give free legal help or advice to people who have low incomes. All of the clinics in the Greater Toronto Area can be found on the map or listed alphabetically below. To get services from most community legal clinics, you must live in the area they serve and your income and assets cannot be above a certain level. To find out if you qualify for services, you can contact your local clinic. To find which community legal clinic serves your area, you can check the Legal Aid Ontario web site and enter your postal code.
Family Law Service Centres (FLSCs) offer eligible clients a range of legal resources and support for family law matters. The centres are staffed by a lawyer manager, staff lawyers, and legal workers who are supervised by lawyers. FLSCs are located in Toronto, North York, Newmarket, Brampton, Chatham and Sarnia. Find the FLSC near you.
