What do you need help with?

It sounds like you may need litigation or dispute support, which falls outside our practice area. We focus on transactional business law. We suggest using the Law Society of Ontario online directory, and select “search for a paralegal or a litigation lawyer”. These are the legal professionals who would be able to help with this type of matter.

The reason why this is the best step is because you would need to share the entire situation over again with a litigation lawyer potentially later, so it's best to start your matter at the firm that may potentially deal with your dispute directly and save money and time.

Please check their online reviews to decide which person is the right fit. For potentially lower costs, reach out to a paralegal first to see if they can handle this matter for you and at what cost. Visit Law Society of Ontario directory of paralegals and lawyers.
