How Rousta Legal Services can help
Ontario paralegals may represent clients in certain summary conviction criminal matters heard in the Ontario Court of Justice. Eligibility depends on the specific charge and applicable scope rules.
Examples can include
- Certain assault allegations
- Causing a disturbance
- Certain theft-under-$5,000 matters
- Other eligible summary conviction offences
Important
- Not every criminal charge is within paralegal scope
- The exact charge and election must be reviewed before representation can be confirmed
- Urgent court dates should be handled by calling directly
