Anthony Battah: Last March

Quebec Bar Association Dept: Anthony Battah has a better idea. Last March, seeing the need for a proper lawyer-referral service that s hassle-free and free of charge , he and a Montreal colleague started one of their own, according to Montreal Gazette. Whoever in your geographical area is interested answers. Like a dating service, you narrow down your choice of suitors, choose the one you want and get in touch, no obligation necessary and it happens sooner or later: You need a lawyer. But how do you find one? Ask a friend? Consult the Yellow Pages? Check with the Quebec Bar Association? It s called Selexion.ca. You fill out a short online questionnaire outlining your problem and the website sends out your query anonymously to those in its network of 279 lawyers who fit the bill. (www.immigrantscanada.com).
