Together, let's defend your rights
Our legal services are free
Whether you are experiencing problems with your landlord, immigration, or your employer, we are here to guide you through the process. At first glance, legal language can be intimidating and the procedures exhausting and expensive.
Fortunately, we offer free legal consultations in addition to personalized support. Visit us at one of our four service points or call us with any questions!
The Legal Collective is committed to adjusting its environment to meet the CNESST's workplace sanitary measures. We encourage our users to do the same in order to collectively ensure the well-being of all!

Does your landlord not fulfill his obligations or want to evict you without good reason? As a tenant, you have rights that protect you against this type of situation.

Do you have questions regarding the parenting schedule (custody) of your children, support payments or parental authority? Are you going through a separation? Different options are available to you to resolve a family conflict while taking into account the interests of the children.

civil law
We can accompany you and inform you especially regarding the steps to take to assert your rights as a consumer, within the framework of a small claims application or to help you better understand the content of a contract you are about to sign.
Immigration
law
We offer personalized information services for asylum seekers, refugees (protected persons), temporary visa holders and people with no legal status in order to guide them through the various stages of the immigration process.
Labour

You are an employee, and you are facing wrongful dismissal or harassment in your workplace. We can inform you of your rights and explain the process to enforce them.
Criminal and
penal law
Have you received a fine or a court summons? We offer information on the steps to take to navigate through the justice system.
Psychosocial
support
If you have an ongoing case with The Legal Collective and your situation requires additional counseling, we can help you. With the help of social work providers, we will help you identify coherent and comprehensive solutions that take into account the non-legal challenges you face.
Socio-Legal
support
We can arrange for a trained person to accompany people who are representing themselves alone or who have procedures to undertake, to offer them moral and technical support throughout certain stages of their court procedures. If you wish to be accompanied, please advise us of your needs and we will assess how we can help you.
