The accused may call (604) 687-3221 or 1-800-663-1919 (for those outside the Lower Mainland) to reach the service, where an operator will provide the name of a lawyer who practices criminal law. The client should then call the lawyer to make an appointment. The initial half-hour meeting is only a consultation, and the client will have to negotiate the fee for subsequent sessions at his or her first meeting with the lawyer. See '''Chapter 22: Referrals''' for more information.
