Bail Hearings


Are you facing criminal charges and looking for ways to save on legal fees? Don’t worry, you’re not alone. Many people are facing mounting legal fees and need to find ways to save. Fortunately, there are some tips that you can follow to help you save on legal fees for your criminal defence paralegal.


The first step to saving on legal fees is to do your research. Look for legal professionals in your area who specialize in criminal defence, and compare their fees and services. You may also want to ask around to see who other people have used in the past. This will help you find a paralegal who has a good reputation and is affordable.


Once you’ve chosen a professional, it’s important to be proactive. Ask questions about the case and any legal fees you may be charged. You may be able to negotiate a payment plan or find ways to reduce certain fees. You should also ask for a detailed breakdown of fees, so you know exactly what you’ll be paying for.


Another way to save on legal fees is to be prepared. Gather any documents or evidence you may have related to the case, and make sure to bring them to all meetings with your lawyer. This will help speed up the process and save your paralegal time, which can help reduce costs.


Finally, it’s important to communicate with your paralegal. Make sure to keep them updated on any developments in the case, and be clear about your expectations. Your lawyer should be able to give you an estimate of the total cost of your case, so you can plan accordingly.


By following these tips, you can save on legal fees for your criminal defence paralegal. Do your research, be proactive, be prepared, and communicate with your lawyer to ensure you’re getting the best possible service and the most affordable fees.

Access to the Team

We work closely with our clients to ensure that they are fully informed and comfortable with every aspect of their case. We believe in empowering our clients to make decisions about their case, and we will not make any decision without first consulting you.

Constant Support

Our mission is to help you find a solution for every credit challenge. Our team of trained professionals strives to make each and every interaction with us as pleasant, informative and rewarding as possible. We look forward to assisting you in any way we can!

01

Free Consultation

The first step is to understand what you want, identify how we can meet your expectations, and then provide the most personalized experience for you. In order for us to succeed—and establish trust between us—we need personal interactions with each of our clients: If that's something that interests you, get in touch today!


02

Billing Methods

We offer several billing options in addition to hourly rates. Depending on your budget, you may want a monthly invoice; for others it's better to go with a retainer agreement or unbundled services. Flat-rate packages are often used by businesses when they have a small number of cases to handle, while personal injury law firms usually work on contingency.


03

Sliding Scale

Due to budget restrictions, many people cannot afford legal services. If a client qualifies for a discount on our services, we are more than happy to provide those services at that reduced rate. For more information about our People Before Profits program, please click here. The factors we consider include both income and family size—which matters because some households have a greater capacity to pay for programs than others


04

Payment Options

By taking advantage of our in-house financing, you can set up a payment plan that fits within your budget and schedule. Depending on what kind of terms are most important to you—down payment, frequency or duration—we'll be able to create a flexible plan that works for you. We guarantee that there are no hidden fees or credit checks. All major credit cards, Interac, e-transfers and cash payments are accepted.

DISBURSEMENTS


The final bill will change as a result.

When you see "plus disbursements" on your legal bill, it's natural to worry. Legal disbursements refer to any expenses incurred by the firm that are related—however tenuously—to your case.


In most cases, lawyers charge separately for filing fees, process server fees, and long-distance tolls. Disbursements are widely accepted in the legal profession as a legitimate expense separate from other billing rates.


Disbursements can be one of the trickiest parts of creating a budget. When you do it right, though, no one will ever know that your final costs were in fact reasonable and necessary. We will do all we can to help you avoid paying high legal fees, even if that means forgoing some of our usual fees.
