Save Money on Your Quasi-Criminal Defence Fees


If you’re facing quasi-criminal charges in Ontario, you may be wondering how to save money on criminal defence fees. After all, the cost of legal representation can be quite high. Fortunately, there are several ways to save money on legal fees when it comes to hiring a criminal defence paralegal.


The first way to save money is to look for a paralegal who focuses on criminal defence law in Ontario. Legal professionals who are experienced in the area of criminal defence can often provide more cost-effective services than those who are not. Additionally, paralegals who focus on criminal defence law may have access to resources or contacts that can help you save money.


Another way to save money on criminal defence fees is to make sure you understand the costs involved before you hire a paralegal. It’s important to ask for an estimate of fees and to get a clear understanding of how much they will charge for their services. You should also ask about any additional fees that may be applicable.


Cordaie Paralegal Services offers payment plans and discounts for those who are facing criminal charges. If you’re on a budget, you may be able to negotiate a lower fee or payment plan with us. Additionally, we offer sliding scale fees depending on the complexity of your case.


In addition to negotiating a lower fee, there are other strategies you can use to save money on criminal defence defence fees. Asking family or friends to contribute to the cost of legal representation can help reduce your expenses. You may also be able to find free or low-cost legal aid services if you qualify. Try contacting Legal Aid Ontario to see if you qualify.


Finally, it’s important to choose a paralegal who has a good reputation and a track record of success. A paralegal's past experience with criminal defence cases can give you an indication of the quality of their services. Additionally, a good reputation can sometimes help you negotiate a lower fee.


Saving money on criminal defence fees in Ontario doesn’t have to be a difficult process. With a little research, you can find an experienced paralegal who can provide cost-effective services and help you get the best outcome for your case.

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!

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.
