What Is A Paralegal?

Not sure what a Paralegal does or how they can help you?

Paralegals are independent legal practitioners, licensed by The Law Society of Upper Canada to provide legal services to members of the public. Paralegals are licensed and regulated the same way that lawyers are. Licensed Paralegals provide legal services and appear before certain lower courts and administrative tribunals. Paralegals represent you, your best interest and effectively help you through the court or tribunal system.   I will accompany you or go to court for you.

  • Do you have a traffic ticket?

  •  Need to collect money from someone who owes you?

  • Have landlord or tenant problems?

  • WSIB issues?

  • Human rights issues?  

The above list is just some of the legal matters that a Paralegal can help you with. Get in touch with me to set up a consultation, or use the contact form at the bottom of this page to inquire whether my services are right for you.

If required by law, a person must be sworn in under oath before signing a document in the context of a procedure addressed to a ministry or agency.
