Welcome

Welcome to Legal Aid Manitoba. We provide legal help to people with low incomes. We strive to serve all clients with respect and dignity.

Our service is fundamental to a fair and balanced justice system.

FOR THOSE WHO QUALIFY, WE HELP:

  • People with family issues such as divorce, child custody, maintenance enforcement and child protection matters.
  • Adults and youth who are facing criminal charges.
  • People with disputes involving welfare, workers compensation or disability benefits.
  • Groups and individuals with test cases in the areas of consumer, poverty, environmental, Aboriginal and Charter of Rights challenges.
  • We do not handle real estate transactions, wills and estates, adoptions, corporate and commercial matters, or civil litigation matters such as people suing each other.

We have included a dictionary of legal terms in plain language on this website if you come across unfamiliar words.
