How to Check a Lawyer

Use the Law Society's Lawyer Directory to confirm that the person is licensed to practise in British Columbia and review any current practice restrictions or regulatory information. Avoid relying only on advertisements or a website name.

Preparing for a consultation

Bring the Lawyer the Decision, Not Only the Story

Crash date and location

These can determine which legal framework and jurisdiction apply.

ICBC letters and decisions

Bring benefit, responsibility and dispute correspondence so counsel can see the actual issue.

Deadline information

Identify any CRT, appeal, court or insurer date already provided to you.
