We are currently offering in-person, drop-in service on a first come, first serve basis, as an initial step to determining your legal issues. At these appointments we will provide guidance on process, legal information, summary legal advice or referrals to other agencies. If it is determined that we may be able to help you further, we will discuss next steps at that time.
Drop-In
We are offering in-person, drop-in service (first come, first serve) on Tuesday and Thursdays from 1:00pm-4:00pm. Telephone appointments are offered on a limited basis. See “Follow These Steps” for more information. The Drop-in Clinic / Telephone Appointment is the first step to getting help at LHC. You can expect to meet with informed and respectful students who will listen to you describe your legal problem. They will help you find answers and will explain the options available to you.
“Thanks again for all your help in resolving this, you played a crucial role in getting organized and prepared.”
Family Law
The Family Law Clinic helps people with problems caused by a family breakdown. Common issues include separation and/or divorce, parenting time and decision-making responsibility with respect to children, support payments, and other forms of legal rights such as guardianships and grandparent access. The amount of help we can offer depends on the situation, but generally includes understanding the family court process and what steps you need to take, drafting documents for Court, writing letters to opposing parties or their lawyers, and giving ongoing support and information. Matters can only be referred to the Family Law Clinic after you have attended Drop-In or a Telephone Appointment, your file has been reviewed and we have determined that we are able to help further.
