If you have a Legal Aid Certificate, we will take your case at no cost to you.
If you don't have one yet, we can help you find out if you qualify.
What is Legal Aid?
We know this is a scary time. Most people worry that a good lawyer costs too much money.
Here is the truth: you may not have to pay anything.
Legal Aid is a government program that can pay for your lawyer. If you qualify, the government gives you a Legal Aid Certificate. This Certificate pays for ALL your legal fees. It is not a loan. You will never have to pay it back.
We accept Legal Aid Certificates. We believe everyone deserves a good lawyer, no matter how much money they have.
We Don't Just "File Paperwork."

CLIENT TESTIMONIALS
What Our Clients Are Saying?
I was told by others that proving my case would be impossible because I didn't have many documents from back home. But this team knew exactly what evidence was needed to prove the danger I faced. Mr. Vish and Jesse guided me to get the right letters from my friends. I am now a Protected Person. Highly recommend for the LGBTQ community.
T.K. (Uganda)
In my country, we do not trust lawyers easily. But here, they treated me with respect. They are very professional. They found evidence about the political problems in my city that I didn't even know existed. English isn't my first language, but they prepared me so much for the hearing that I was not nervous. They are the best in Ontario.
B.T. (Bangladesh)
I was so scared because my first BOC form had many mistakes I didn't know about. Lawyer Jesse sat with me for many hours. He found every small error and fixed it. When I went to the hearing, the judge asked about the dates, and I was ready. Thank you for saving my life.
A.A. (Nigeria)
I tried a big firm before, and they never called me back. Then I found this team. Vish always answered my emails. They worked very hard on my religious persecution claim. They showed me the 'missing links' in my evidence and helped me find the proof. I am so happy to be safe in Canada now.
N.M. (India)
The hearing is very scary, but we practiced many times with the lawyers here. They asked me the hard questions first so I knew the answers for the Board Member. If you want to win your refugee claim, you must go to them. They know how to prepare you.
D.O. (Ghana)
My case was very difficult because of my nationality. I did not think anyone could help. But they are very smart lawyers. My family is safe now because they took the time to do the job right. God bless them.
