1. Ask friends and family for names of lawyers they have dealt with; or
2. Check the Yellow Pages under "Lawyers"; or
3. Phone the Law Society of Alberta Referral Service at 1-800-661-1095 (in Alberta only) or 228-1722 in Calgary. For general inquiries call Dial-A-Law at 1-800-332-1091 (in Alberta only)

While representing yourself is also a possibility, it is almost never a good idea. Before you decide to handle your own case you should at least have an initial interview with a lawyer.
