Hire Toronto Paralegal

In Toronto, Ontario, if you are in dispute with a person or business for the following reasons: breach of contract, bad debts, i.e. unpaid rent, product liability, property damage, breach of warranty, nuisance, personal injuries, defamation or professional negligence. You can start a small claims action by filing a Plaintiff’s Claim online or in person at Small Claims court if you believe the person or business owes you money not exceeding $35,000 or you want to reclaim personal property valued at $35,000. 

Depending on the type of case, you can commence an action in small claims court as a self-represented litigant, or you can hire a small claims court Toronto Paralegal as your legal presentative. Hiring a Paralegal means you are deploying a full legal arsenal to win your case, especially if the probability of the matter ending up in trial is high or when you can’t reach an agreement with the other party. 

We understand that not everyone can afford to pay for paralegal services. Hence, we provide limited-scope retainer paralegal services whereby we conduct legal research and provide you with a legal opinion — meaning — what are my chances of winning the case?

In Toronto, landlords who are in dispute with their tenants and tenants who have issues with their landlords can commence an application at the Landlord and Tenant Board seeking an order to evict, end or rectify the issue (as the case may be) if their matter concerns any of the following: unpaid rent, late rental payment, illegal rent, illegal charge, eviction notice, or damage to property. 

Depending on the severity of the case, you can commence an application at LTB as a self-represented applicant or respondent, or you can hire a landlord-tenant Paralegal in Toronto to represent you at the hearing. Hiring a Paralegal doesn’t translate to winning your case. However, a paralegal specializing in landlord-tenant matters can be an indispensable asset when applying the Residential Tenancy Acts in proving your rights in court.

We are aware that some landlords can’t afford a paralegal. Thus, as part of our paralegal services, we offer a limited-scope retainer agreement whereby you pay minimal fees for limited legal services such as drafting and filing LTB requests, attending court hearings, application reviews, scheduling and monitoring LTB applications.

In Toronto, defendants who have been personally served with a provincial offence notice such as speeding tickets or a summons to attend court have to follow the instructions set out on the offence notice or summon — failure to act accordingly may result in being found guilty.

Depending on the type of offence notice you are charged with, you have four options: 1) Plead guilty and pay the amount indicated on the ticket. 2) Plead guilty before the justice of the peace (in court) with a submission. 3) Request for a trial date. 4) Early resolution (first-attendance) meeting with the prosecutor, also known as out-of-court negotiations. Before deciding, you need to understand each option’s risks, implications, and consequences, i.e., jail time, suspension of driver’s licence and demerit points. Hence, the need for a Paralegal. 

We are privy to the fact that some defendants cannot hire a paralegal to advise, guide, or represent them in provincial offences court. As such, we offer traffic ticket paralegal services for people with low budgets.
