Take a look at what our clients are saying about us:

“Troy was excellent. I was a defendant in a complicated small claims action and no lawyers would return my call. He took on my case and seemed to revel in the complexity. He reviewed my initial self filed reply and amended it . He focussed my defence using case law and evidence I had missed. We had an initial interview and a strategy session a few days before the trial. I self represented. The trial lasted a day and a 1/2 with the self represented claimant floundering at times. Armed with the playbook Troy created for me I confidently argued my defence. The judgement went my way. I was not surprised given the attention to detail and the personal guidance Troy provided. I saved a bundle on legal fees and a possible judgement against me. Thanks Troy you’re the best.”

“Such a valuable and truly affordable service Troy and Affordable Legal offer! Lawyers can be intimidating and confusing. After just one phone call I felt at ease and knew I was going to be assisted every step, as well as understand what was going on with my claim. They go above and beyond and quickly reply to help. Don't hesitate to inquire about using this paralegal service!”

“Affordable Legal BC was very helpful in assisting me with drafting submissions for the Civil Resolution Tribunal. This helped me save over $15,000 in legal fees I was being sued for and we won! I would not hesitate to contact them to see if they can help you too.”

“Affordable Legal BC offers an invaluable, and essential service. I am absolutely thrilled to be able to have used this company. I had a legal matter that I needed discussed at length, but acquiring a lawyer would have cost me a huge amount of money. I was able to get all of my many questions answered, on several different occasions at a flat fee. We found Troy to be so knowledgeable about any legal matter that was asked. He really took his time in thoroughly explaining my concerns in a way that was easy to understand by somebody not familiar with the legal system in British Columbia. I would not hesitate to use Affordable Legal BC in the future, and will be glad to recommend them to anybody needing legal services at an affordable rate.”
