Starting May 27, 2024, improvements are being made to the Client Gateway application process to support both existing and new clients.
The Client Gateway for criminal matters has been transformative in streamlining clients’ access to legal aid services. The Gateway provides an alternative to phone applications.
In direct response to feedback from LAA employees and duty counsel lawyers, we are expanding the Gateway online form to capture financial information. This will allow LAA to collect all necessary information from applicants in one step, significantly reducing client callbacks and ensuring a seamless end-to-end process.
Training and reference material will be available for all Duty Counsel lawyers. If you have questions about Client Gateway Enhancements or need assistance registering for a training session, please contact [email protected].
