Retained Legal Services is a paralegal practice based in the Haliburton Highlands, serving clients across Ontario. The practice assists individuals, property owners, and small businesses with legal disputes and regulatory matters that require careful attention to process and timing.

Many of the matters handled involve systems that are procedural and unforgiving. Deadlines are fixed, documentation requirements are specific, and small mistakes can create larger problems. Whether the issue involves a tenancy dispute, a licensing or compliance matter, a tribunal appeal, or a Small Claims Court action, the outcome often depends on understanding the rules and responding correctly.

Each file is reviewed before any steps are taken. Not every disagreement should be pushed into a legal forum, and clients are not encouraged to pursue matters that are unlikely to succeed or that do not justify the cost and effort involved. When a matter does move forward, the focus is on accuracy, preparation, and realistic expectations.

All work is carried out by a paralegal licensed with the Law Society of Ontario. Clients are provided with clear explanations of the process, organized preparation of materials, and support that reflects how these systems function in practice, not how they are described in theory.

The role of Retained Legal Services is straightforward: to help clients navigate legal processes competently, avoid unnecessary missteps, and move forward with a clear understanding of where they stand and what comes next.
