Professional Court Documents Without Full-Service Legal Fees
You know the facts of your case. You may even know you want to go to court. What you need is help putting it all into the formal documents that courts require—applications, claims, affidavits, and motions. We draft those for you, based on the facts you provide.
It’s Perfect if you:
- Have already decided to pursue a small claims or LTB case
- Know your facts but don’t know how to format them for court
- Want to self-represent but need professionally drafted documents
- Need supporting affidavits or motion materials
- Want professional presentation without hiring a lawyer for the whole case
What’s Included
✓ Document Drafting
We draft your claim, application, affidavit, or motion based on facts and details you provide.
✓ Court Rules Compliance
Documents formatted correctly for Ontario Small Claims Court or the Landlord and Tenant Board.
✓ Clarity & Persuasion
We translate your facts into clear, coherent language that supports your position.
✓ Multiple Revisions
You review a watermarked draft, request changes, and we refine until it’s ready.
✓ Final Filing-Ready Version
Clean, formatted final document ready for you to file with the court.
Scope & Limitations
We draft the documents. You represent yourself in court.
This is called “unbundled legal services.” We handle one part of your case—the paperwork—while you handle the rest. It’s a way to get professional documents at a fraction of full-service legal costs.
You must provide:
- All relevant facts, dates, and details
- Copies of supporting documents (contracts, emails, photos, etc.)
- Clear description of what you’re asking the court to do
How It Works
1. You Provide Facts & Details
Describe your case, what happened, what you want the court to order, and any supporting documents.
2. We Draft the Document
We create a formal court document based on your facts, formatted according to court rules.
3. Watermarked Draft for Review
You receive a draft to review. Read it carefully—does it match your story? Are there gaps or errors?
4. Revision & Refinement
You request changes. We revise. Repeat until you’re satisfied.
5. Final Approval & Payment
Once approved, you pay and receive the final version.
6. You File & Represent Yourself
You file the document with the court and proceed on your own.

Why This Matters
Court documents must follow specific rules about format, content, and language. One mistake can result in your case being dismissed or delayed. Paying a paralegal to draft documents is far cheaper than paying a lawyer to represent you the whole way—and you still get professional results.
This service is especially valuable if:
- You’re confident about representing yourself but unsure about formal writing
- You need documents quickly (we can often turn around drafts in 3–5 business days)
- You want to avoid the $2,000–$5,000+ cost of full legal representation
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. Many clients start with evidence organization, then move on to pleading drafting once they’re ready to file.
Court rules are complex. We do our best to comply, but if a court finds an error, that’s on you—we’re not representing you and can’t advise you on how to fix it. This is why we call it “unbundled services.”
Typically 3–5 business days for a first draft, plus time for your review and revisions.
You can. Just let us know and we’ll provide any drafts or work product to your lawyer. (Your lawyer may charge you to review or rework what we’ve done.)
