Small Claims Court
The Small Claims Court is a branch of the Superior Court of Justice that deals with lawsuits that do not exceed $50,000, which are seldom regarded as "small" to most clients. Retaining a licenced paralegal can make the process of issuing a claim in Small Claims Court a less stressful and time-consuming experience. Litigation is a legal process used to resolve disputes between parties, but just because the matter is within the Small Claims, does not mean the legal issues are less complex than those in higher courts. Small Claims Court is an intricate legal system where the expertise of an experienced and knowledgeable paralegal is crucial.
​
We assist clients on issues involving:
-
Defective Workmanship
-
Promissory Notes
-
Debtor/Creditor Disputes
-
Property Disputes

Notary
A notary public is a person who can serve as an official witness to the execution (signing) of contracts, agreements, and an almost limitless array of legal documents. A notary may also certify documents to be true copies of the original. Notarization simply refers to an official act of a notary. A notary also has the authority to administer oaths, solemn affirmations, and declarations that are used for affidavits and statutory declarations.
​
Examples of some documents we notarize/commission:
-
Affidavits
-
Statutory Declarations
-
Certified True Copies of Legal Documents
-
Sworn Statement for a Family Gift of a Used Motor Vehicle
-
Consent Letter for Children Travelling Abroad
-
Visa Application Letter
​
We notarize documents for a flat rate of $80.00 for the first signature. If you are unsure if your document needs to be notarized or commissioned, please contact us.
Please note that you must sign in the physical presence of the notary for him to notarize your signature. Do not sign your document before meeting with us. A valid photo ID is required for all notary and/or commissioner services.
