Summary:
Do you have a legal problem but no lawyer to help? Then you could be one of the growing number of Canadians going to court alone. Between the rising cost of hiring a lawyer and cutbacks to legal aid, more and more people are faced with either representing themselves, or walking away from their legal problems. Denice Barrie will help you make the best possible case in court. With some hard work, it iss possible to manage your own case and reach an outcome as good as if you had been represented by a lawyer. No one knows your case better than you do - but you need to learn how to prepare and present it. This book will show you how. You will learn how to take all the bits and pieces of paper you now think of as your case and turn them into an organized presentation in court. If you are on your own with a legal problem, this book is the compass you need. Denice Barrie has been providing coaching and support to self-represented litigants (SRLs) since 2007 and has seen them achieve some remarkable results. This book combines her 30+ years of experience as a lawyer in both British Columbia and Ontario with her passion for making the doors of justice open for all. In this short, straightforward guide, she maps out the unique, six-step system she has developed. Writing with compassion and understanding for those who find themselves alone on the sometimes rocky road to justice, she takes you from chaos to convincing.
