Peace Bonds


Are you in Ontario and facing criminal charges? If so, you may be wondering how to save money on criminal defence paralegal fees. It is important to understand that the cost of a criminal defence paralegal in Ontario can be quite expensive, but there are certain steps you can take to help reduce the cost.


First, don't wait to hire a paralegal. The longer you wait, the more complicated the case may become and the more expensive it may be to defend yourself. Hiring a paralegal as soon as possible can help save money in the long run.


Second, do your research. Compare fees between different criminal defence paralegals, and consider the experience and focus of the paralegals you are considering. Also, consider the possibility of hiring a paralegal to take on some of the tasks associated with the case if you plan to self-represent.


Third, make use of Legal Aid Ontario (LAO). If you qualify, you can get assistance with criminal defence lawyer fees. Check your eligibility and apply as soon as possible.


Fourth, ask about payment plans. Cordaie Paralegal Services, for example, offers payment plans that can help spread out the cost of legal fees.


Finally, consider a guilty plea bargain. This can be a good option if the evidence against you is strong and the prosecutor is willing to accept a lesser charge. This can help reduce the cost of a criminal defence paralegal in Ontario.


By taking these steps, you can help reduce the cost of criminal defence paralegal fees in Ontario. However, it is important to remember that the best way to protect your rights is to hire a qualified and experienced criminal defence paralegal who can provide you with the best legal advice and representation.

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.
