Lawyer Directory (Ottawa)

GROW YOUR PRACTICE! Dementia Justice Canada is offering lawyers the opportunity to join our Lawyer Directory. This is a list of lawyers in the Ottawa area who have agreed to provide a free 30-minute consultation to people who have attended the Dementia Justice Clinic for legal information on a variety of topics such as housing, elder abuse, discrimination, mental capacity, and criminal law.

Dementia Justice Canada is a small federally incorporated nonprofit. Its sole director is Heather Campbell Pope, a seniors advocate based in Ottawa. Heather hosts a free in-person legal information clinic for people with dementia and their support persons. At the clinic, Heather provides the Lawyer Directory to attendees who may need legal services.

To be eligible for a directory listing, lawyers must complete a reading requirement on (1) elder law ethics, (2) elder abuse, (3) assisting people with diminished capacity; and (4) good business practices for delivering dementia-friendly services. Links to the materials are included in the rules.

The annual directory membership fee for 2025 is $50. This helps cover clinic operational costs. If you sign-up in 2025, your membership will continue until Dec. 31, 2026.
