K	K A (Kars) on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Lawyers do nothing for you, Lawyers don't listen to you, When you disagree with the lawyers they remove themselves from your file or ask to be removed. It's a joke they are not out to help the less fortunate or ones who can't afford decent representation they don't care!! All they want to do is bill you and they do that quite well for no services rendered that you request. $14000 and change and not one thing was done that I asked for. Well you don't give me the service I ask for so I don't pay that's how that works!! Keep sending those bills they just go to junk like the services provided from these junk lawyers!!
l	louis cerminara on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Beware Imagine: if in medicine or education you never advanced beyond the waiting room or grade 1 because you lacked funds, your poor...that's what this place facilitates for lawyers. They do nothing, until you lost everything, and it's too late. Then you still owe them. If you are poor you will be treated lower than any animal under Canadian law. Legal aid is where terrible lawyers go hide, to steal from weak victims. They are not there to help normal people they are there to help most evil lawyers find most broken victims. Its another organization of privileged folks pretending to do volunteer work. It looks good on each other's resumes. Beware. .Beware.
B	Brittany Ann on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ They only help you if you're in jail or going to go to jail is basically what the person told me on the intake call so don't bother contacting them unless you're a criminal, they don't help with any other legal help.
P	Pari Zia on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ legal Aid is ridiculous, how are we all put on hold for hours with no help, if the office closes at 4:15 and we're kept on all hold till then whats the point? we will get cut off and no help will be given whatsoever. the amount of bad reviews on here is a testimony on how bad and unhelpful they are. Some of us do not have a thousands of dollars to spend on expensive lawyers when we need immediate help. Ridiculous is an understatement.
T	Tristar Hodge on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I was told ridiculous wait times. I never received any updates. I was denied because i made $100 more than they allowed. a whole lot of time was wasted just to be denied.
R	Rob Read on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Very difficult to get a hold of and seem to care very little about clear communication or helping your situation. After spending hours on hold they are quick to dismiss you and your issues and are too impatient to allow you to finish sentences. I just waited for hours for the 3rd time and I was cut off mid sentence, with no return call or email, and they will just make me wait for hours on hold again. They dont care whatsoever and are doing a terrible job of ruining a service that many people depend on. These people should be ashamed of their performance and should be fired so that people that understand the importance of their role can fill those jobs.
N	Nader Amer on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I'm speaking as a former employee. Do not work here and please read the indeed.ca reviews as to answer the question why. The office environment is toxic, where you will be subject to poor training, a definite lack of on-the-floor support from management and the most toxic, and even management endorsed, passive-aggressive bullying from staff, maintenance staff and possibly anyone on the floor with authority or their own office. If for some reason you do choose to work here, please understand you will talked down to by management, likely ostracized by many of your co-workers, and monitored by quality assurance for which you will receive written evaluations inconsistent from one another. If you are looking for work where you might be treated with some respect, please consider working for a private organization or governmental branch that emphasizes respect and dignity for their workers, a quality Legal Aid, a principled non-profit organization supposedly, does preach but never practices. Not one person with self-respect would work here. Do the right thing and if you get a callback for a position with with Legal Aid and, again, peruse infeed's reviews to see why.
M	ManjaroJam on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ This review is about Legal Aid Alberta. God help you if you need their help. Either this organization is overwhelmed with excess demands for its services, or it is run by a group of inept, lazy, uncaring and unmotivated individuals. Their business name is "Legal Aid". Expect to wait on their phone line for 2 hours to get response, if at all. They need to look in to their business model and seriously overhaul their operation to improve efficiency and the effective delivery of their badly needed services. About their phone answering service: one way to efficiently answer phone calls is to provide a callback service, instead of compelling people under stress to wait on the phone for 2 hours before providing customer service. Many businesses offer a call back service based on first call first serve. What is so difficult about doing that? Honestly? Do you have to be a genius to figure out that a caller would be most appreciative and relaxed when knowing when he/she will get a call back from Legal Aid? instead of waiting for 2 hours and listening to annoying recurring recorded messages reminding him/her of "Long wait time", or "check spam folder", etc.
