As a licensed paralegal in Ontario, I assist clients in navigating issues related to Ontario Works (OW), the provincial program that provides financial and employment support to individuals and families in need. Dealing with OW applications, benefit denials, reductions, or suspensions can be stressful, and the rules and procedures can be complex. My role is to guide you through the process and advocate for your rights.

For clients applying for OW benefits, I help prepare and submit complete and accurate applications, ensuring all required documents and supporting evidence are included. If your application is denied or your benefits are reduced, I can represent you in appeals before the Social Benefits Tribunal (SBT). This includes reviewing the decision, gathering supporting evidence, drafting submissions, and advocating on your behalf at hearings.

I also assist clients who are facing disputes related to overpayments, eligibility, or employment obligations under OW. By managing the paperwork, meeting deadlines, and presenting a strong case, I work to ensure that the tribunal fully understands your circumstances.

My goal is to provide professional guidance and representation to help you secure the financial and employment support you are entitled to, reducing stress and protecting your rights throughout the process.
