Aboriginal Legal Aid

Do you have a legal problem? Legal Aid BC has a range of free services that may be able to help. We give priority to people with low incomes. But many of our services are available to all British Columbians. 

We also have services for Aboriginal people.

We're committed to increasing awareness of  Aboriginal legal rights and supporting the strengths of Aboriginal cultures and communities.

Legal Aid BC is also known as the Legal Services Society (LSS). We are a non-profit organization created by the LSS Act in 1979 to provide legal information, advice, and representation to people with low incomes. Every year we help tens of thousands of British Columbians with:

• serious family problems, 
• child protection matters,
• immigration issues, and 
• criminal law issues.

We're funded by the provincial government, with additional support from the Law Foundation of BC and the Notary Foundation of BC. We're accountable to the public and remain independent of government.
