Where did this happen?

We cover Ontario and Alberta.

Where do things stand right now?

Pick the closest one. You can change it later.

Can you pay a lawyer, or do you need Legal Aid?

Your answer changes nothing here. Firms we work with offer payment arrangements — ask about options.

When is the next court date?

If you do not know, say so.

Who is this for?

The person who was charged.

Any papers at all?

Release order, court notice, police paperwork, a ticket — anything with a date or a name on it. A photo is enough.

Take a photo of the papers.

Then read the court date off them if there is one.
