Do I have access to financial assistance if I am an alleged wrongdoer?

Yes, under certain conditions, the Protecteur du citoyen may grant you financial assistance to reimburse the cost of consulting an attorney, which does not include the cost of representing you or drafting procedures and formal notices.

To find out if you qualify, you must apply to the Protecteur du citoyen. We will then determine whether your situation warrants financial assistance.
