Your consultation request will be reviewed within approximately two (2) weeks.

Please note that you must protect your rights until you have received a decision on whether or not Juripop will take over your case.

Among other things, you must respond to any court application, if any, and take all necessary means to avoid losing your rights by the passage of time (statute). For example, if you have received a decision from a court or administrative tribunal and you disagree, you must file your challenge within the time limit mentioned.

Membership gives all the democratic rights provided for in Juripop’s general by-laws, including the right to vote at annual general meetings and participate in the election of the members of the Board of Directors.

In addition, only Juripop members have access to affordable legal services provided by Avocats Juripop Inc.

Affordable legal services are provided by lawyers who charge an hourly rate of $65 for individuals or $90 for NPOs and self-employed workers.

In addition, there are administrative fees of $55 to open your file.

Other fees may incur depending on the nature and progress of your file. These may be actual costs, such as travel or photocopying, or fees required by law, such as bailiff’s fees or court stamps.

At the end of your first meeting, the lawyer will assess the costs likely to incur in your file and ask you for an advance in trust before beginning their mandate.

Juripop may refuse service requests for the following reasons:

• You are eligible for legal aid;
• Your income is too high;
• Avocats Juripop would be in a conflict of interest;
• The time for action is too short;
• The resources of Avocats Juripop are inadequate;
• The request is frivolous, unfounded, or disproportionate;
• The area of law covered by the application is not covered.

Juripop can refuse a request without having to justify itself.

We may also ask you for additional information and documents to study your file, particularly concerning your financial situation.
