Luke’s Place Legal Clinic

Lawyer looks at documents

Luke’s Place connects women across Ontario to family law lawyers for free summary legal advice through our Legal Clinic. The lawyers who volunteer with our Legal Clinic are experienced and trained on the issues women deal with when they leave an abusive partner. Women from across Ontario can access our Legal Clinic via video conferencing or over the phone. If a woman lives in Durham Region, she can also access our clinic in person.

Our Legal Clinic is for all self-identified women in Ontario who

  • Have experienced violence or any form of abuse in their relationship
  • Have a family law legal issue for which they wish to receive summary legal advice (e.g. parenting arrangements, financial arrangements, safety concerns)
  • Do not have a lawyer for the legal issue(s) they wish to discuss

If you meet the criteria above, reside in Durham Region and have just received an emergency order from the court, we may be able to support you through our Legal Clinic to prepare for the return of your motion. For more information, contact us at 1-866-516-3116 or email Intake@LukesPlace.ca.
