How do we do it? By offering services directly from a Paralegal. Paralegals cannot do everything a lawyer can do, but if we can help, we can probably save you money.

Our mission at Affordable Legal BC is to make the law affordable to everyone and demystify the legal process. We break down the cost barrier imposed on legal services and make the law accessible to everyone. You should be able to afford legal services, especially if you are injured or are owed money. If somebody has sued you, you need to be able to afford to defend yourself. Affordable Legal BC – Smaller Problem? Smaller Fees.

In simple terms, you should contact us if:

• you have suffered an injury that is too small for a lawyer to take your case,

• you are owed money under $35,000;

• somebody has sued you for less than $35,000; or

• somebody is in possession of property belonging to you that is valued under $35,000
