How We Help

We start with advice for your problem. Some people need more help than just advice so then we consider providing other services for you. Sometimes we will help you by preparing documents (for example, an application to the Landlord and Tenant Board).

And sometimes we can represent you in a court or at a tribunal, such as the Social Benefits Tribunal or the Landlord and Tenant Board.
