Pro Bono Ontario (PBO) provides free legal services for people who need help with non-family and non-criminal matters and don’t qualify for legal aid.
To find out if you are eligible for Pro Bono services, call their Free Legal Advice Hotline, available Monday to Friday from 9:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m., and 1:00 p.m. to 3:30 p.m.
Many of our clients are vulnerable individuals who desperately need help with everyday legal problems. These include frail people on fixed incomes who have fallen prey to predatory lending schemes, caregivers facing job loss when tending to sick relatives, children facing barriers to their education, or self-employed contractors struggling to collect monies owed. These and other struggling groups approach us by the thousands for help. Our services prevent a spiral of costly social problems, and often mean the difference between shelter and homelessness, food on the table and hunger, economic stability and bankruptcy, productive work and unemployment.
We also help build communities by supporting start-ups, artists, social service organizations and social entrepreneurs with the legal issues that come with running a small business in Ontario.
Mailing Address
Legal documents will not be reviewed unless you have first contacted the Free Legal Advice Hotline. Do not send materials until instructed to do so.
PBO does not have the capacity to store hard copies or return documents. DO NOT mail original documents.
