Q
What is the difference between a Paralegal and a Lawyer?
AIn Ontario, Paralegals are Licensed members of the Law Society, no different than a Lawyer. However, Paralegals are only permitted to assist and provide legal services in specific situations, such as a Tribunal (Like the Landlord and Tenant Board or Human Rights), some Criminal Matters being proceeded under summary procedure, Provincial Offences Court (like Driving offences, Building code, or Liquor Licensing) and The Small Claims Court. At YLS we have both Lawyers and Paralegals on staff to assist you no matter what your legal need is, or what help you may require in the future.
