Paralegal
We are pleased to offer a wide range of paralegal services, including legal research, assistance with court forms, and drafting of legal documents. In the legal world, words matter. In fact, the wording of legal documents and pleadings is arguably as important as the information provided to support one's position; both can have a significant impact on one's chances of success. If you need help preparing or responding to a legal matter, we'll be happy to help; please contact us!
Court Agent
Court attendances can be stressful and time-consuming. Depending on your situation, you may not be required to appear personally, and can send a Court Agent to represent you instead. We can be retained for the sole purpose of attending court with you or on your behalf. Please don't hesitate to contact us for more information!
Commissioner for Oaths
Commissioners for Oaths and Notaries are not the same. Understanding the differences can save you time and money.
In Alberta, a Commissioner for Oaths is appointed by the Alberta Government. A Commissioner for Oaths can deal with Affidavits, Affirmations, and Declarations in and for Alberta. A Commission for Oaths appointment expires and must be renewed. Commissioners for Oaths use a stamp to accompany their signature.
A Notary Public can administer and attest Oaths and take Affidavits, Affirmations, and Declarations. Notaries can also certify and attest true copies of a documents, and can witness, certify, and attest the execution of documents. Notaries use a stamp and a seal to accompany their signatures, and can commission documents to be used in Alberta, within Canada, and internationally.
Depending on the nature of your matter, a Commissioner for Oaths may be sufficient. If the documentation is meant for use outside of Alberta, a Notary is typically required.
If you require a Commissioner for Oaths, don't hesitate to contact us!
Process Server
When you make a Court Application, you must typically serve documents upon the other party or parties involved.
Process Servers charge a fee to serve court materials and complete an Affidavit of Service. They may also be able to help you find someone.
A Process Server is an independent third party to the dispute. Sometimes, people attempt to avoid service, so a Process Server who is not known to the recipient may get documents delivered more easily.
If you need documents served, don't hesitate to contact us!
