The Peterborough Community Legal Centre provides summary legal advice, referral, brief services, and representation.

Summary advice means that the Legal Centre staff would provide you with information about your legal problem.

Referral means that if we do not deal with your specific problem, we would try to direct you to someone who can help you.

Brief services are when the staff of the Legal Centre provide you with a service such as Commissioning or Notarizing.  Because of limited staff resources, we only provide these services in some areas.  You can call the Legal Centre to find out if we can help you.

Representation is when a lawyer or community legal worker agrees to represent you regarding a specific legal problem you are facing.

The Legal Centre focuses on housing and social assistance matters.  We do NOT practice family or criminal law.
