  • The Innovation Sandbox initiative by the Law Society of British Columbia aims to improve access to justice by enhancing access to legal advice and assistance. Here’s how it works:

    Objective: The Innovation Sandbox focuses on piloting the provision of legal services by individuals, businesses, and organizations that are not lawyers or law firms.

    Unmet Need: The goal is to address the legal needs of those in British Columbia who may not have easy access to traditional legal services.

    Experimentation: The sandbox allows for experimentation with innovative approaches to providing legal advice and assistance. It encourages new models and providers to emerge.

    Effective Legal Service Providers: By participating in the sandbox, stakeholders can develop effective legal service providers that cater to the specific needs of the community.

    In summary, the Innovation Sandbox fosters creativity, collaboration, and alternative solutions to enhance access to justice in British Columbia.

  • Contact us to discuss your legal issue or problem. There is no charge for your initial meetings. We will go over your case with you and let you know whether we are able to assist. If we cannot assist we will provide you with further information regarding your next steps. Our goal is to ensure that contacting us leaves you with helpful information.

    We do not assist with family law, employment law, immigration, or criminal law.

  • You may only want our office to prepare your initial documents for the $475, and nothing else. You are not obligated to use our services beyond that point.

  • If you would like our office to prepare a Notice of Claim for several outstanding invoices or contracts, we are able to assist you for only $475. CRT Files are always $400

  • If you are owed money for dozens of invoices, or multiple contracts, the calculations and pleadings required are more complex and the price is adjusted accordingly. We will work with you to keep your costs low.

  • Any documents you provide to us are stored on our servers and encrypted, anything you tell our office is private. We will do our outmost to ensure your privacy and confidentiality subject to a Court Order, like your employer.

    My services to you are not provided by a lawyer regulated by the Law Society of British Columbia. As a result: (a) I could be required to disclose to third parties your communications with me and any documents you provide in relation to my advice and assistance as such communications will not be subject to solicitor-client privilege; (b) l am not required to have professional liability insurance, and do not carry professional liability insurance ; (c) There is no statutory complaint process in relation to the services that I provide; and (d) The Law Society of British Columbia has not evaluated or verified my competence, character, and/or fitness to provide the services.
