Being sued? We can defend you
If you have been served with a Plaintiff's Claim, you must file a Defense within 20 calendar days or risk default judgment. We help defendants by:

- Drafting and filing a comprehensive, persuasive Defendant's Claim
- Filing a Defendant's Claim (Counterclaim) if the plaintiff owes you money
- Representing you in settlement discussions and trial
Our Small Claims litigation process
Pleading preparation
We draft your Plaintiff's Claim or Defendant's Defense, ensuring all relevant evidence, invoices, agreements, and details are strictly structured to form a winning legal basis.
Settlement conference
Before a trial, we represent you at a mandatory Settlement Conference before a judge to negotiate terms, narrow issues, and explore settlement options.
Trial advocacy
If a settlement is not reached, we prepare your trial binder, examine and cross-examine witnesses, present evidence, and make legal arguments before a Deputy Judge at trial.
