At Affordable Legal BC we work closely with you to keep your costs as low as possible.  How low?    Our fee is usually only $575, that’s it.

We charge a flat rate for our services.  We do NOT charge by the hour. Our rates are fixed to help you budget for the litigation. No surprises, no hidden fees.

Our lower costs for legal services make commencing smaller claims more feasible, and make smaller claims worthwhile to defend.

Your initial meetings with us are free.    Most files cost as low as $575, larger or complex files do cost more.    If you choose to file the documents yourself, then you will be responsible for the applicable court fees.  If you want us to file documents on your behalf our fee will be increased to include the court fee. 

Most small claims files are resolved at the settlement conference  after just a few months and it is likely that no further fees are required.  Roughly 2/3 of all files settle at a settlement conference.

You are under no obligation to continue using our services. You pay for the services you want.
