Statistically, 33% of Canadians over the age of 19 will need legal advice at least once a year. Unfortunately, the high cost of legal fees can make access to justice prohibitive. With premiums as low as a few hundred dollars, policyholders can obtain the peace of mind that they can access the legal system without incurring undue hardship.
- Contract disputes
- Employment disputes
- Criminal defence
- Property disputes
- Personal injury
- Tax disputes
