Frequently asked questions

How many law firms does LawDB list in Montreal?

LawDB lists 62 law firms in Montreal.

How do I find a good lawyer in Montreal?

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 Barreau du Québec and ask how fees are charged before you sign.

Are Featured firms rated higher?

No. Ratings come from each firm's public Google listing. Featured firms are partner placements shown above the other listings, so read the rating and reviews as well as the badge.

Where can I get legal help in Montreal if I cannot afford a lawyer?

You may qualify for help from the Commission des services juridiques (legal aid). Many lawyers also offer a first consultation, and some offer limited-scope services, so ask when you call.

Do Montreal lawyers handle cases outside the city?

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