If you are charged with a summary crime (often less serious crimes), legal aid will decide if your case will be covered, provided you meet the financial requirements. This is based on various factors, such as whether you will be convicted, will lose your job if you are convicted, etc. Legal aid may be free for individuals, but sometimes a fee may be charged for some or all of the legal services you receive. Legal aid is available to people who meet the financial requirements. This will be assessed on a case-by-case basis. Many factors can determine whether you qualify financially. Legal aid checks your income, your spouse`s income, living expenses (housing, food, utilities), transportation, debts and many other factors. It is at the discretion of legal aid if you are financially qualified. If you are a young person (between 12 and 17 years old), legal aid will cover your case if you meet the financial conditions. Most areas of law are not covered by legal aid. These include, but are not limited to: civil actions (e.g. a lawsuit against someone for a car accident), corporate and commercial law, contractual disputes, and property disputes. If you are of legal age and charged with a criminal offence (serious crimes such as murder, theft, etc.), legal aid will cover your case if you meet the financial requirements.
Once you have been informed that you will not be eligible for legal aid, you can appeal the decision. You will receive a „Notice of Appeal” form with your rejection letter. You must complete the form and send it to the address indicated on your complaint form within 14 days to file an objection.

Legal aid usually covers disputes such as divorce, separation, custody and contact with children. There are other areas of family law, such as child and spousal support, that they can cover. However, you must meet the financial requirements. As with criminal cases, legal aid has the discretion to decide whether or not they are covered. If you have an immigration and refugee officer hearing, you may have access to legal aid. This is at the discretion of legal aid. If you are at risk of losing your job, going to jail or having other special circumstances, legal aid can cover tickets and traffic violations. P.O. P.O.
