Find Legal Help

Find public legal-information resources, legal aid and ways to verify a lawyer’s status or seek a referral.

Information is a starting point. Help is available.

A website cannot determine the right answer for every individual set of facts. These independent public resources can help you identify available services and find current information about legal professionals.

Public legal-help resources

Find information about legal aid, lawyer referral and the regulation of lawyers from the independent organizations responsible for those services.

Before you contact a lawyer

Organize your basic question, dates, official notices, existing agreements or orders, and any immediate deadlines. A professional can then explain which information is relevant to your particular circumstances.

Legal information, not legal advice. This site is independent and is not operated by the Government of Nova Scotia or a court. Rules, forms and deadlines may change. Use the official sources and obtain advice about your own situation when necessary.
