Frequently asked questions
How much does it cost?
The fee is $1,250 plus 13% HST ($1,412.50 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.
Will I have to speak at the hearing?
Often, yes. Your own evidence is usually important, and we prepare you so you know what to expect when you are questioned.
What if the hearing takes more than one day?
Some hearings run longer than a day. Each extra day is a separate step, and we let you know if more time looks likely.
When will I get the decision?
Some tribunals decide at the end of the hearing, and many send a written decision later. The timing depends on the tribunal.

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.
