==What if you can’t afford a lawyer?==
You may be able to get legal aid, which is run by the Legal Services Society (LSS). It depends on your legal problem and other details. To find a legal aid location near you, go to the LSS website at [http://www.legalaid.bc.ca www.legalaid.bc.ca] and under “Legal aid”, click “[http://www.legalaid.bc.ca/legal_aid/legalAidOffices.php Legal aid locations]”. Or phone the province-wide Call Centre at 604-.408-.2172 (Greater Vancouver) or 1-.866-.577-.2525 (toll free elsewhere in BC).
In some cases, a lawyer may be willing to charge you a lower fee if you can’t afford the regular rate.
