Lawyer Referral Service (LRS): 1-900-565-4577
THE LRS number can be dialed from any private phone in Ontario. Note that there is an automatic $6.00 charge to your phone bill, billed in the month following your call for this service.
LRS provides callers with the name and number of a lawyer in their geographic area who practices in the area of law they require. The service permits callers to speak with a lawyer for a half-hour of free legal advice. Note that the lawyer is only available for advice, and will not write letters or complete forms.
Special phone numbers that do not result in a $6.00 charge are available for those who are under the age of 18, incarcerated, or in crisis (domestic abuse) situations. Call (416) 947-3330 in the Toronto area, or toll free 1-800-268-8326. The toll free numbers only apply to these specific individuals. All others are required to pay the standard charge.
