What is the difference between a paralegal and a lawyer?
In Ontario, both paralegals and lawyers are licensed legal professionals. Lawyers typically have a broader scope of practice, including criminal law and complex civil litigation. Paralegals specialize in specific areas such as small claims court, landlord and tenant board matters, and certain administrative tribunals. We are often a more cost-effective option for these specific legal needs.
Do you offer a free consultation?

What information do I need to bring to our first meeting?
To make our first meeting productive, please bring any relevant documents related to your case or notary needs. This might include contracts, emails, photographs, invoices, court documents, notices, identification, or any correspondence you have received. We will guide you on what is most helpful when you book your consultation.
What type of cases can paralegals handle in Ontario?
As a licensed paralegal in Ontario, KDLS can represent clients in Small Claims Court, Landlord and Tenant Board matters, various administrative tribunals, and provide notary public services for affidavits, statutory declarations, and certified true copies.
