Legal Help Centre - Winnipeg

I have nothing but good things to say about the Centre and their staff. Nadia is great and super knowledgeable and everyone is always welling to help, answer questions and get things done as soon as possible. Nothing but grateful of the Legal Hep Centre.

The Legal Help Services Centre offers orientation in legal services.

Students working with their professors to gain experience and assist low income public with legal information. Can only provide information not advice. Free valuable assistance.

Excellent experience. The student assigned to me went above and beyond to assist me. All expectations and scope of practice were clearly communicated and I felt confident that they were doing all they could to help me within their mandate. As a free service, it far exceeded my expectations.

My experience at this place was that it is painfully unprofessional. If you would like a free experience of the ethics of our legal system, come on in and put your trust here and feel the shock & disbelief when you discover the inhumanity. I was led on to believe; nay, assured that my issue was within the mandate of legal help centre and that I would be helped. After weeks of legal- speak hoops and direction that cost me time,money and emotional investment , I was told that my situation isn't within their mandate.Nothing had changed in my situation.The change was that the students involved were apparently left on their own to guide me without any guidence of their own for weeks before getting feedback by a " supervisor" From day 1 when I was told I could be helped, until 8 weeks later once I'd provided all that was asked, the only change was lack of, and/or miscommunication between anyone involved at the centre. If this "program" is mandated to help clients, it failed beyond imagination in my experience. If, rather,the goal is to teach students how to be lawyers, perhaps it could be seen as a success if it is to teach distain for clients and exhibit power from the perch of systematic narcissistic elitism. Yes , my experience was real, and it was painful.The lack of professionalism was the problem.No human liability for leading me on with hope & empty promises of support. Best to get a lawyer and pay the extortion fees and skip this humiliation for a false help centre that is more of a legal play-ground of pretend.

Under staffed and under resourced but AMAZING! The child care program offers practical and reliable help. If you say you help women but you don't provide childcare, you really aren't helping much! The team is fantastic, even the secretary!!! Life saving!
