What is a Paralegal?
A Paralegal is much like a lawyer, as they have been licensed by the Law Society of Ontario to provide legal services in the Province of Ontario. Paralegals are also recognized as officers of the court. However, Paralegals are limited in the areas of law they can provide services for. The main advantage of Paralegals to the public is that Paralegals are just as competent as lawyers in the areas they practice, but

 Paralegals fees are 5 to 20 times lower than that of the fees of lawyers. 

Paralegals fees range from $100/hr to $200/hr an hour, while lawyers fees range from $500/hr to $2,500/hr.
Paralegals are limited to the area of practice for: 

· Any matter before a Small Claims Court,

· Any matter heard before a Provincial Offences Court,

· Any summary conviction matter with a maximum penalty of six months in jail before the Ontario Court of Justice – Criminal, 

· Any matter before a local, provincial, or federal administrative board, tribunal or commission, except immigration applications. 

Paralegals cannot offer legal advice involving family law matters (unless they have a FLSP LSO license) and Wills & Estate law.
