Is Legal Hotline available in Canada now?
Yes — Legal Hotline is live across Canada. Call 1-855-LAW-1555 free, any hour, for legal information trained on federal Canadian law and the law of your province or territory. It's information, not legal advice, and it creates no lawyer-client relationship.
Which provinces and territories does Legal Hotline cover?
All ten provinces and three territories. The law varies by province and territory, so you tell us where you are when you call and everything is tailored to your jurisdiction. Quebec operates under a civil law system distinct from the common law of other provinces, and our AI is trained on Quebec civil law separately to ensure accurate information for Quebec callers.
What areas of Canadian law does Legal Hotline cover?
Criminal law, family law, employment law, immigration, civil disputes, wills and estates — and more. Our AI is trained on both federal Canadian law and the laws of all provinces and territories.
How does Legal Hotline connect me with a Canadian lawyer?
If you want a lawyer, you can book a one-hour phone consultation with an expert Canadian lawyer right on the call — we text you a secure payment link while you're on the line. Your enquiry details are passed to the lawyer so you don't have to start from scratch.
How much does a consultation with a Canadian lawyer cost?
A fixed fee, confirmed before you pay — no surprises. The legal information line itself is always free, 24/7, even if you never book a consultation.
Is this legal advice?
Legal Hotline provides legal information — a clear, plain-language explanation of the law relevant to your situation. It is not formal legal advice and creates no lawyer-client relationship. If you need formal legal advice or representation, you can book a fixed-fee consultation with a Canadian lawyer right on the call.
