How do I find a good lawyer in Ottawa?

Start with the kind of case you have, then compare firms by Google rating, number of reviews and location. Confirm the lawyer is licensed with the Law Society of Ontario and ask how fees are charged before you sign.

You may qualify for help from Legal Aid Ontario. Many lawyers also offer a first consultation, and some offer limited-scope services, so ask when you call.

Do Ottawa lawyers handle cases outside the city?

Many do. Courts and clients are often spread across the region, so firms in Ottawa commonly act for people in nearby communities as well. Check the firm's profile or ask when you call.
