Why take a lawyer?

What are the advantages of hiring a lawyer rather than representing yourself?

  • A lawyer knows the procedure;
  • A lawyer establishes a theory of the cause, that is, a strategy in the case;
  • A lawyer ensures that deadlines are respected;
  • A lawyer will guide you on what is important and what is not;
  • A lawyer will take a lot of stress out of the litigation;
  • A lawyer is familiar with interrogation and cross-examination techniques.

It is important to contact a lawyer as soon as there is a decision to challenge or a dispute, because it is easy to fall into traps or misproform your argument when you do not fully master the subject.

A file that is directed from the outset by a member in good standing of the Barreau du Québec is more likely to succeed than a file where a lawyer suddenly appears on the eve of a trial.

The majority of our files are free of charge since they are percentage or covered by legal aid.
