Although everyone has the right to represent themselves in a Canadian Courtroom, it is quite an undertaking to do alone. Long hours of research, preparation and appearances. Take the guesswork out of making a claim in court, and partner with the professional paralegals at ACS.

Over the years, ACS has settled hundreds of cases at the Settlement Conference stage and will use that same experience and expertise to communicate on your behalf to obtain a favourable settlement, or acquire the necessary information to properly prepare for Trial.

Unless you know all the proper steps and Rules of the Small Claims Court, representing yourself at trial can be intimidating to say the least. When searching for favourable results, the right court representation and preparation is key to ensuring a thorough execution on the legal process.

Areas of representation on your behalf include.

The Ontario Court of Justice hears virtually all Provincial Offence matters, as well as offences against municipal by-laws. Under a Memorandum of Understanding, municipalities administer courts where most provincial offence cases are tried and prosecute many of these cases on behalf of the Ministry of the Attorney General.
