The Most Recognized Online Service in Canada
Legalhood.com is a commendable initiative for people who intend to settle their non-complex lawsuit at little cost and this fits well into the new judicial culture.
Legalhood has revolutionized the way that Canadians take care of their legal proceedings. They have successfully combined the expertise of lawyers with the familiarity of modern technology to make the law more accessible than ever before.
Thank you so much for the great service I received. Thank you for your patience and help, it is greatly appreciated. This was my first time using this type of site. I will not hesitate to contact you in the future.
A great website. Easy to use, I just had to follow the steps. A simple way to respect us at a medium cost, while respecting the law. I am really satisfied with this service and I suggest it to all of you.
Legalhood eliminated the challenges of navigating the small claims legal system. The website was user friendly and when we had questions, the support provided was exceptional. Legalhood proved to be efficient, affordable and ultimately successful!
Legalhood was super easy to use and it was much, much cheaper than what my lawyer was going to charge me for the same demand letter.
I got the service in two hours without having to go anywhere. Congratulations to your team and the great idea of this platform. I recommend you to anyone in need of a lawyer.
How it Works
You, the plaintiff, must complete the small claims smart form application.
A claim will be automatically generated using the information you provided. An administrative and summary review will be done by our team (non-legal review).
The cost of this service is $99 plus taxes.
Remember that you are fully responsible for the content of your claim.
Our online dispute resolution services give you the opportunity to send your claim to lawyers for a legal review. We firmly believe that it is up to you to decide what type of mandate you want to give to them.
You may request one of our partner firms to:
- Review your claim for an additional $120: they will provide their comments in the form of short notes (like post-its). You will then have the opportunity to make changes to your claim before submitting it to the court.
- Review your claim and set up a phone consultation with the lawyer who worked on your case, allowing you to ask them legal questions related to your claim for an additional $170.
- Review your claim and set up a phone consultation with the lawyer who worked on your case, allowing you to ask them legal questions related to your claim. You can also get a pre-trial ”coaching” session to prepare for your hearing. The lawyer may help you to come up with arguments and on how challenge the defendant’s arguments.. This session is done over the phone for an additional $240.
* You understand that all legal mandates are limited in scope. The lawyer will therefore limit themselves to commenting your claim, explaining their comments and/or suggestions and ultimately, answering your questions.
You will then be asked to pay Legalhood‘s fees by credit card (Visa, MasterCard, American Express), plus applicable taxes. Court fees must also be paid. You can view the court fees for Quebec here and for Ontario, here.
Please note: you will only make one payment, but two transactions will appear on your credit card statement:
- The first for using the service
- The second for court fees* (the law firm takes care of paying the fees on your behalf) and the amount associated with the additional à la carte service, if you have chosen one.
* Court fees may vary depending on the province and the value of the dispute. You will also need to accept our Terms and Conditions.
If you have chosen the WRITTEN REVIEW option, you will receive comments from the lawyer within 48 working hours.
If you have chosen the WRITTEN REVIEW + APPOINTMENT option, you will receive, within 48 working hours, the legal professional’s comments, and an email in order to make a telephone appointment with him to discuss your case. The lawyer will offer you some availabilities.
Finally, if you have chosen the WRITTEN REVIEW + APPOINTMENT AND TRIAL PREPARATION option, within 48 working hours you will receive the legal professional’s comments, as well as an email in order to make a telephone appointment with them to discuss your case. During this call (or by email thereafter), you will schedule another call, over the next three months or so, to complete the court preparation session. The latter is also done over the phone.
If you decide to select an à la carte legal service, you can review your claim and take advantage of the received comments to modify it before signing it.
When you have completed your claim, you will receive an email which will allow you to sign it electronically. This signature, which is legally valid, will appear on the court documents in the appropriate sections. Signing can be done easily on a computer, tablet, smartphone, etc.
Once signed, your legal claim will automatically be sent to the court identified by the plaintiff (i.e. by you).
* Note that Legalhood.com is not liable for errors made regarding specific courthouse locations or deadlines that may be related to the claim.
You will be able to check whether your claim has been received using the Canada Post tracking number which will be sent to you by email, either by our customer service or by Canada Post directly. Keep this proof in a safe place.
If it has been sent electronically, you will be notified as well.
Once the claim has been sent, all further instructions will come from the court itself.
Best of luck!
