There are news reports that people are receiving scam calls that display the Burlington Court House phone number. We often get calls from clients in a panic after receiving some sort of phone call or notice that threatens immediate legal repercussions.

There are timelines to reply to claims against you, so it's important to promptly seek advice! https://www.insidehalton.com//9739841--warning-city-of-b/

"Every individual is equal before and under the law and has the right to equal protection and equal benefit of the law without discrimination" I got to see and photograph this statue outside the Law Society of Ontario in downtown Toronto two weeks ago. Sums up the essence of paralegal work (and that I spend more time working for clients than updating social media ;)

An interesting article about evictions for personal use - I don't completely agree with the tone of the article, but it's an interesting read. In my opinion these types of eviction applications are being more closely scrutinized because of this trend. Overall it's important for tenants to know their rights and landlords to know the rules. If you're not sure where you stand it's always a good idea to come in for a consultation! https://www.theglobeandmail.com//article-evicted-how-lan/

We often get calls about family law, which is outside the scope of paralegals, or from tenants who can’t afford representation. In the Hamilton area, you can contact the Hamilton Community Legal Clinic for help.

These types of situations come through our office regularly. If your contract dispute is under $25,000 it should be heard in the Small Claims Court and paralegal representation is ideal. Higher dollar values may need to proceed in Superior Court where a lawyer is required if you do not represent yourself

It's been a super busy start to the year here at Carr Paralegal! We never got to posting a 2018 recap, but here are some highlights from just the last week - winning a case for a client against a very well known lawyer, providing in-car commissioning for an elderly client on a snowy/icy day so they didn't have to brave the sidewalk, negotiating a settlement for a client and setting them up for future success, and winning a motion while providing advice for future self-representation. Wherever you are in your legal process - we can help!
