Response from JusticeNet.ca - If the lawyer they referred can't help me... (Then IF The Honourable Judge Michelle Flaherty doesn't intervene with Dr. Tabitha Rogers OBSTRUCTION I will be blocked from appealing if she upholds the CCB's decision)
Hi Steven,
Thank you for your message. Please note that JusticeNet does not directly deal with users' legal issues and cannot offer any legal advice. We connect members of the public with legal professionals in private practice, who have agreed to offer their services to people of low and middle income at reduced rates. To financially qualify, your family’s total income after taxes must be below $90,000. Lawyers’ hourly rates range from $130 – $200, depending on the client’s income and number of dependents supported. But you still need to confirm reduced rates when contacting a professional by phone.
To find a participating professional who can help you with your issue, please take the following steps:
- Visit our website at https://www.justicenet.ca
- Before registering and paying any fee, do a preliminary search of our online directory using the search box on the home page to see if there are any legal professionals in your local area!
- Register as a client user. There is a one-time $25 registration fee which helps to cover the administrative costs of the service. This fee is refundable in case you do not find a suitable lawyer through us, and is not charged at all if your net income is below $25,000.
- Search our online directory of professionals
- Select a professional from the search results to view their profile page
- Contact your selected professional by phone to schedule an appointment. Please note: You must contact your selected professional (no one will call you). Please make sure to mention on the phone that you were referred by JusticeNet, and confirm that the professional can offer you reduced rates.
If you do not end up finding the right legal professional at a reduced rate through our service, you can contact us again, and we will issue you a full refund of your $25 registration fee.
