As a licensed paralegal in Ontario, I am authorized to represent clients in Small Claims Court, which handles disputes involving amounts up to $35,000. Whether you are a plaintiff pursuing a claim or a defendant responding to one, I provide the knowledge, guidance, and representation needed to navigate the process effectively.
For plaintiffs, I begin by assessing the merits of your case and advising you on the best approach to recover money owed, damages, or property. I prepare and file the Plaintiff’s Claim, ensuring it is completed accurately and within the required deadlines. I also collect evidence, organize documents, and identify witnesses to strengthen your position. At settlement conferences and hearings, I advocate on your behalf, presenting your case clearly and persuasively. If you win a judgment, I can also assist with enforcement measures such as wage garnishments or asset seizures to help you collect what you are owed.
For defendants, I provide support in protecting your rights and ensuring your side of the story is heard. I review the claim against you, explain your legal options, and prepare a strong Defence. If appropriate, I can also file a Defendant’s Claim against the plaintiff. Throughout the process, I handle all necessary paperwork, gather evidence, and represent you in court proceedings. I work to challenge unfounded claims, minimize liability, and explore opportunities for settlement where it is in your best interest.
Whether acting for plaintiffs or defendants, my goal is to simplify the legal process, reduce stress, and achieve the best possible outcome for my clients. By handling the legal details, I allow you to focus on moving forward with confidence.
