Parry Sound North Star Readers Choice Award, eleven consecutive wins!

Thank you, readers, for once again selecting me, The Reader's Choice Award as Favourite Paralegal. Having been a member of the Law Society of Upper Canada in 2009, I have concentrated in the areas of Small Claims (Claims up to $35,000) and Landlord Tenant Board. Within the Small Claims Court, my main focus has been bad debt collection and resolution. In this past year, I was honoured to speak at the Law Society about how I draft my pleadings and conduct trials. With the focus of achieving the best possible result for my client, I take great pride in that I understand both sides of any case. This allows me to achieve the best possible resolution for the client with the least amount of costs. Even with a well-established client base, I welcome new clients and inquiries.
