Paralegals

The Lever Paralegal Agency specializes in Ontario civil practice, including legal consulting, agency and advocacy for private individuals and small business.

Although individuals and small business may be self-represented in many legal matters, representation of an individual or a small business by a trained paralegal may result in a more competent, efficient and less stressful experience.
