Your client got a legal aid certificate. What now?

Thursday, June 11, 2026
12 to 1:30 p.m.

After your client gets a legal aid certificate, they usually still need your help. They first have to find a lawyer who accepts legal aid certificates. Then they have to know how to work well with their lawyer.

This webinar will guide community workers on how to support clients who get a legal aid certificate.

This webinar will cover how to:

  • find a lawyer who accepts a legal aid certificate
  • prepare for the first meeting
  • understand retainer agreements, billings, and legal fees
  • communicate effectively with lawyers
  • watch for problems
  • change lawyers

ASL interpretation will be available.

This webinar will be recorded and available online later.
