Second, it is important to research your options. You may be able to get legal advice from free or low-cost sources. For example, some local governments provide legal assistance programs for landlords and tenants. Additionally, there are several websites that provide free or low-cost legal advice and resources.

Representing yourself can save you a significant amount of money on lawyer fees, but it is important to understand that this is a complex process and you may not be familiar with all of the relevant laws and regulations.


In conclusion, there are a variety of ways that landlords and tenants in Ontario can save money on legal fees when it comes to landlord and tenant matters.

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.
