Legal Guidance When You Need It

Legal matters can be confusing, especially when you’re not sure what your options are or where to begin.

As a paralegal licensed by the Law Society of Ontario, I provide legal advice, document preparation,
negotiation and representation in matters that fall within my permitted scope.

My goal is to help you understand the process, know what to expect and feel prepared for the steps ahead.

    I assist with eligible Small Claims Court matters involving claims of up to $50,000, whether you are bringing a claim or responding to one. This may include disputes involving contracts, contractors, unpaid invoices, debt, property damage, and other eligible claims.

    From preparing and filing your claim or defence to organizing documents and evidence, preparing you for your court appearance, and representing you in court, I’m here to help you feel prepared and supported throughout the process.

  • Receiving a ticket or being charged with a driving offence can be stressful, particularly when you’re unsure
    what it could mean for you. I can help make the process easier to understand and guide you through your
    options.

    I assist with eligible Provincial Offences Act matters, including:

    • Speeding charges

    • Careless driving

    • Highway Traffic Act matters

    • Other driving-related offences

    • Municipal by-law matters

    • Other eligible Provincial Offences Act matters

    the process.

  • Being charged with a criminal offence can feel overwhelming, especially when you’re unsure what the charge
    means or what to expect next. I can help make the process easier to understand and help you navigate your

    I assist with eligible summary-conviction criminal matters within the scope permitted for paralegals.
    Depending on the circumstances, this may include:

    • Criminal harassment

    • Theft under $5,000

    • Mischief

    • Assault

    • Causing a disturbance

    • Other eligible summary-conviction offences

    Not every criminal charge falls within the scope of a paralegal. The specific charge and how the Crown is proceeding must be reviewed to determine whether the matter falls within my permitted scope.

    If your matter falls within my permitted scope, I can help you understand the process, prepare for court, and
    represent you throughout your matter.

    Record suspension applications

    A past criminal record can continue to affect different parts of your life, even after you’ve completed your
    sentence. A record suspension may help eligible individuals put their past behind them and move forward.

    I can assist with eligible record suspension applications, including helping you understand the process,
    gathering and preparing the required documentation, completing the application, and submitting it on your
    behalf.

    If you’re unsure whether you may be eligible or where to begin, I can help you understand the process and
    what steps may be involved.
