Select Small Claims Court Cases
Being involved in a legal dispute can be stressful, even when the amount at stake is $50,000 or less. Whether you are trying to recover money that is owed to you or have been served with a claim, understanding your rights and obligations in Small Claims Court is important.
At Suzanne Desrosiers Professional Corporation, we represent clients in select Small Claims Court matters. While Ontario's Small Claims Court is designed to be more accessible than other courts, the process can still be challenging. Parties must comply with court rules, gather and present evidence, prepare legal arguments, negotiate potential settlements, and, in some cases, attend trial. Missing a deadline or making a procedural error can have serious consequences to the outcome of a Small Claim Court matter.
Legal representation can help you understand the strengths and weaknesses of your case, avoid costly mistakes, and make informed decisions about how to move your matter forward.
The Types of Small Claims Cases We May Accept
We represent both plaintiffs and defendants in select Small Claims Court matters, including:
- Breach of contract claims
- Unpaid invoices and debt collection matters
- Business and commercial disputes
- Property damage claims
- Employment-related claims
- Disputes involving services provided or goods purchased
- Other claims involving financial loss
Not every Small Claims Court matter requires a lawyer. In some cases, the cost of legal representation may outweigh the amount in dispute. For that reason, we take the time to discuss the merits of your case, the potential costs involved, and whether retaining counsel is likely to provide value.
Our Approach
We take a practical and results-oriented approach to Small Claims Court litigation. Whenever possible, we look for opportunities to resolve disputes efficiently through negotiation, settlement discussions, or mediation. Where settlement is not possible, we can assist with document preparation, settlement conferences, motions, and trial representation.
We understand that individuals and small businesses need realistic advice, not unnecessary litigation. Our goal is to help clients resolve disputes as effectively and economically as possible while protecting their interests.
