I NEED A LAWYER
OUR PHILOSOPHY
“Justice is not a luxury. It is an integral part of democracy. Everyone has a fundamental right to justice”.
Beverley McLachlin - former Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Canada
LEGAL SERVICES FOR ALL
Since its foundation, Juripop has been providing access to affordable legal services to people and organizations whose financial situation does not allow them to retain the services of a private lawyer.
We represent seniors wishing to keep their homes, single-parent families trying to make ends meet and non-profit organizations working hard to make the world a better place.
LEGAL ASSISTANCE
We determine the law applicable to your situation and advise you on your options. We may prepare a legal opinion or provide you with our opinion by telephone or in person.
COURT REPRESENTATION
We can enforce your rights in court. Representation may also involve drafting procedures and participating in mediation meetings or settlement conferences.*
*Representation is possible in the judicial districts of Montreal, Laval and Longueuil.
DRAFTING DOCUMENTS
If your situation has not yet gone to court (no application has been submitted to a court), you may still receive a formal notice or other correspondence to which you wish to respond. We analyze the correspondence you receive and can draft it on your behalf.
ACCOMPANIMENT IN NEGOTIATION AND MEDIATION
We promote dispute prevention and resolution outside the courts. We can help you identify a settlement method that meets your needs, prepare you to participate in a mediation meeting, or accompany you to one.
