Frequently asked questions
How much does it cost?
The fee is $750 plus 13% HST ($847.50 in all) for the work described on this page. Court, tribunal or government fees and other disbursements are extra. We confirm the scope and the fee in a written retainer agreement before any work starts.
What happens when I check out?
You book a time for your intake call, then save a card on Stripe's secure page. Nothing is charged today: the card is only charged later, for an invoice for work already done, as your retainer agreement sets out. A licensed paralegal confirms the details, checks for conflicts of interest and, if we can act for you, sends the retainer agreement. Fees paid before the work is done are held in our trust account.
Can a licensed paralegal represent me at an Ontario tribunal?
Yes. Licensed paralegals may represent people before tribunals set up under Ontario or federal law. A judicial review or appeal of a tribunal's decision in court is lawyer work, and if your matter reaches that point we can refer you to a lawyer.
What if I have missed the deadline?
Some tribunals can extend a deadline if you ask and explain the delay, but they do not have to. Contact us as soon as you can so we can check whether an extension request is possible.
Will the hearing be in person?
Many Ontario tribunals hold hearings by video, by phone or in writing, and some still meet in person. The tribunal decides the format, and we prepare you for whichever one applies.
Can my case settle before a hearing?
Often, yes. Many tribunals offer mediation or a case conference, and a settlement can be reached at any stage if both sides agree. We explain any offer to you, and the decision to accept it is yours.

Important limitations
- No outcome can be guaranteed; the tribunal decides
- Deadlines are set by law or by the tribunal, and missing one may end your right to go ahead
- The service covers only the step it names; later steps are agreed separately in writing
- A few services here are requests or complaints to public bodies rather than tribunal cases; before any work starts we confirm that your matter is within what a licensed paralegal is permitted to do, and we can refer anything that is not to an Ontario lawyer.
