Besides the obvious reasons, if
we represent your matter, we remain emotionally removed
from your situation enabling us to think clearer.
We find that most can become emotional when they are
involved in legal disputes which can result in poor
decisions and strategies.
We can represent your interests
effectively. We practice quality not quantity, which
means we don’t deal with clients like an assembly
line; instead we take time and care with your matter,
and give you quality service and we don’t take
on more than we are able to handle.
Our success record is excellent,
but irrelevant to our clients. We measure our success
based on our client’s successes; we look at whether
or not we did our best, or perhaps saved our client
from some worse result. One can appreciate that each
situation is different and requires special care and
attention. There is no percentage that can be placed
on measuring success.
We have many people contact us
about different reasons. Usually we are contacted to
provide court & other representation in specific
courts & tribunals.
There are those also that call
us in a confused state when it comes to their small
legal matters, and it is not because they are emotional.
As you will see, the court &
tribunal forms, rules and laws involved can be very
daunting to say the least. As a result, we find that
most do not utilize the forms and rules properly. And
if those fundamental elements are not done properly,
there can be problems with your case later on.
We find that most need help with
both procedural and substantive matters that can be
common hurdles to overcome in Small Claims Court, Landlord
& Tenant Court, Traffic & Provincial Offences
court and the Administrative & Appeal Tribunals.
For example, the Small Claims
Court is a branch of the Superior Court of Justice and
has its own set of Rules deriving from the Courts of
Justice Act; similarly, the Landlord-Tenant Tribunal
is governed by several legislations, Tenant Protection
Act and Statutory Powers and Procedures Act and also
has its own particular set of regulations.
In the Provincial Courts, where
Traffic Tickets and various Offences are dealt with,
the constitution of the court is governed by, among
other things, the Provincial Offences Act.
In the other tribunals (such as
the Human Rights, Employment and Licence Appeal Tribunal
and so on) you will have to grapple with different laws
and rules governing them, so it could be a daunting
task.
The point is all persons, represented
or not are expected to be aware of all the rules and
should reasonably be able understand them when coming
to a court or tribunal.
When the government created the
rules and regulations to try and simplify procedures
so that the average person can file (without legal representation
hence saving on legal fees) in small claims or landlord-tenant
tribunal when they are aggrieved in some way, we don’t
think they ever anticipated the complex matters that
would be brought in them.
As a result, there is an obvious
need by the general public to hire affordable representation
(hence support) such as an experienced Paralegal
& Court Agent to tackle the small issues and
help unwind the complex web of all the rules.
The Small Claims Court and Landlord-Tenant
Tribunal have a maximum amount of $25,000.00 one can
claim for. And we anticipate that also will be increased
to a higher amount as the cost of business increases.
The Judges and Adjudicators have
limits, and cannot help you if you are un-represented;
to the point that they actually become your counsel.
Generally, people don’t have
time to un-tangle the rules to make them workable for
them. Moreover, they don’t know where to turn to
for affordable help.
The representation by someone
(other than a Lawyer) which the courts refer to as a
‘Court Agent’ is permitted in all of courts
& tribunals mentioned here.
