Small Claims Court Litigation Coaching

Self Represented Litigants

In British Columbia, the Civil Resolution Tribunal and Small Claims court are deesigned to be as simple and accessible as possible so that people and companies can access justice without hiring a lawyer. Despite user-friendly websites and free online guides, though, it can still be a challenge to represent yourself in court without some professional guidance. We can help you navigate the rules of procedure, draft pleadings and other court documents, collect and present evidence, research, and prepare to attend trial and other court appearances with confidence.

The Civil Resolution Tribunal is Canada’s first online tribunal and deals with civil disputes up to $5,000, and other limited claims.

Small Claims court is for civil disputes from $5,001 to $35,000.
